Kri, gee this sounds great! :luv:

I love Somerset too. Seems it is closer to everything than Devon. Hmm.... Songy, do u think my feral cats and I can come and sleep in your barns?
I'm not much good at anything but they are great ratters. :D
 
Welcome home, Barry, and good luck to both with the snapper. You could walk to The Rotunda from there.

Maybe we can grab that pint sometime. I'll be at Croker on Sunday, but won't throw my empty flagon in yer garden.

You can certainly sleep in my barns, as long as you don't mind sharing with several large bovines who snore and worse...

I've just come in from doing some fencing - we had Mika on the cd (Pip is addicted to the high voiced git) and we decided Big Girl (s) (You Are Beautiful) would be the perfect theme tune for a computer generated enhanced video clip of the Blues boogying on the website ...!

Anyone with the talent on here to do that then?
 
We live on the southern fringe of Cheltenham , five minutes from Junction 11A of the M5, and handy for a lot of racecourses. We moved here at Christmas from North Cornwall as I had been made redundant three years ago and the job situation is pretty desperate there apart from seasonal work. In view of the fact we knew Cheltenham very well from countless visits over the years and because we knew quite a few people in town by virtue of belonging to a local racing club, because one of our daughters lives fairly near by in Oxfordshire and because the job market looked buoyant we gambled on a move here. Cheltenham is also one of the best areas in the UK for a property increasing in value so we took the view it was a good investment too and bought a bungalow here.

Mrs DG and I have both found well paid jobs. Mrs DG works in the fracture dept at Cheltenham General Hospital and I work for a company which supplies most of the top racing stables in Southern England, polo clubs, showjumping people, jockeys etc and various illustrious clients such as Princess Anne, Zara Phillips, Lord Vestey etc with veterinary and medicinal products and all manner of stable equipment ( can do you a good price on a body protector SL :ph34r: )
I just hope none of them ever visit the place as it's a dump :P

My ideal place to live is Cornwall and will retire back there as and when although if I had no family ties would definitely give the West Coast of Scotland a whirl. Also very fond of Ireland.
 
Outskirts of Glasgow - which can be a bit strange - look in one direction and you're staring at a typical fifties built housing estate in a city, look the other way and you have rolling hills sweeping off towards the Campsies and the East. No complaints at present, but am working towards moving to the other side of them thar Campsies.
 
Think i will be in Croker on Sunday myself, Depends on how a match of my own goes on Saturday evening...Celebrations may take their toll!! But heres hoping!!


What way do ye see it goin Gents? Tough one to call, but i actually believe that Meath are still the bet.
 
Bar The Bertie?

I think Dublin will this one, the last sting of a dying wasp that will precede 5 years of Meath ascendency under Coyler.
 
Coyle knows his Stuff alright, we had him here in monaghan and he knew what he was at. I think Dublin missed the boat the last day, 5 points up twice having played all the football and they let it slip... If Meath can keep Keeney and Brogan off the ball they will eat them alive, im sure that Coyle knows this, and now with the extra option in Farrell up front, i think they will sneek it.
 
I live between Dawlish and Holcombe on the south west coastline. I moved here [ well all of 7 miles ] eight years ago to be with my husband.
Dawlish hasn't really changed much since the Victorian era. The railway line and station are still here . The victorian postcards show the same seafront as now.
The Black Swans are great to have in the brook which runs down through the centre of the town.
It does get really busy down here from Easter through to September, but I suppose I have got use to that.
I have very easy access to country lanes and just a mile away is the most beautiful common with woodlands all around. The views from here are spectacular, 360 degrees of sea, sweeping hills and Dartmoor stands majestically in the background to the North.
That reminds me , I must get back up there to do some photos of the Dartmoor foals.......
 
When my mother was searching for a guest house to buy in 1964, we looked at one set right into the hillside, overlooking the railway line, in Dawlish. There was the most incredibly steep stairway from the top of the house to the front door, and we didn't buy it on the basis that one trip and we'd bowl straight out under the wheels of the 4.15 from Torquay! I love the red soil around there, and the wonderful rocky outcrops. Very dramatic when the sea and sky are intensely blue.
 
I've just moved from semi-rural (a mile or so outside Caerwys in Flintshire) to completely rural. Half a mile from the hamlet (maybe 30 houses, no shop, no pub, no bus-stop) of Bryn Rhyd-yr-Arian in Conwy. The village of Llansannan, where there are facilities, is a couple of miles further. 7 miles to Morrisons in Denbigh and 12 to Tesco in Abergele. It's now 40 miles each way to work rather than 30 but the peace, the view and the sunsets are worth it.
Given some of the horror stories that you hear, I suppose a week to get a BT line and a further week for Orange to switch the Broadband isn't too bad.
 
Southside of Dublin for me.. love it and wouldn't change it for the world (blah, blah lol), although I'm not originally from Dublin..

Will be at Croker myself on Saturday, and after that in The Huntsman on the way to Ashbourne celebrating another win for the Royals.. :D
