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 h34r: )
I just hope none of them ever visit the place as it's a dump

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.
