Your area

[All Englands Skies]

Whats your area like where you live?

I live in Leicestershire, Its okay here, i like the countryside areas here, like Bradgate park or to go out to Bosworth!

The City is okay too, it has an old clock tower and when i am up in Leicester, I often go to the Cathedral for some reflextion and thinking.

I live near Totnes in Devon - ever heard of it ?... New Age, the occult and drugs. Theres a few nice fields and a lovely river that i fish ( in the summer ) called The Dart - sea bass and mackerel anyone ?

Newcastle, its OK, it makes a change from countryside and fields, trees, smell of pine in a morning and near dead silence except for birds chirping ... it was a boring place but in the heat of West yorkshire dales, i like city life - for now.

I live in the Scottish central belt. It's ok. Great scenery once you escape from the city. Most of the people here are great and very down to earth, but i hate all the sectairianism here which seems to appear every summer.

I live in Wiltshire very nice, and rural but can be a bit too quiet,

AllEnglandsSkies, Im from Leicester too, Enderby if you know of it about 6 miles from Leicester, was born in Leicester Royal Infirmary.

Please tell me your a Foxes fan, it would be a minor miracle if there was two of us here.

Hey, I dont follow Football my friend, however the Foxes/Blue Army are still the team of my county!

I know enderby, yes, when i started driving, it seemed to be a place with loads of intertwinding residential streets, but whichever direction you want in, you always ended up back at the point i started! (even though it felt i was going in a totally diffrent direction)

A rural village half-way between Preston and Southport in the North West, on the River Douglas. Pleasant enough, very handy for the Lake District.

You live not too far from me.
I live just above the town between Torquay and Brixham and have a wonderful view of the sea.

Liverpool. It's not as bad as certain people would have you believe, it's really friendly and we do have the best accent in the world
There's some nice countryside, you just have to go further to see it. Although on the way from where I live to Widnes (only about 10 miles), you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the middle of nowhere. Nice distance from north Wales, not all that far from the Lakes and there are some lovely beaches on the coast all the way up to Southport- Freshfields, Crosby, Formby.
Then Liverpool itself has all this history, even the shopping streets are lined with buildings with some fascinating story. I once had a guided tour round a bank (with a careers programme in school) and was told that the corridors in the basement were said to be haunted by the ghosts of slaves. :o The large square behind the town hall, called Exchange Flags, hides beneath it the room from which the Battle of Britain was run.
We have the best football team in the world too
Then there's Everton...

Hello Folks - I've been absent for a while, but I was pleased to find a whole bunch of Brit-ites here.

I'm in Burton Latimer (which no-one has ever heard of). It's in Northants, near Wellingborough. If you've ever been to London on the East-Coast main line and whizzed past the Weetabix factory - that's where I am.

Today has been foggy, but generally it's lovely here. The trees are clothing themsleves with blossom, the daff are going daffy and the crocusus are cracking.
My trip to school goes through the old part of the village, with iron-stone buildings and the Jacobean school house. Past the Norman church, over the bridge and past the field of sheep to the village school with fewer children in years R-6 than were in a single year of my school in Derby!

Are there any old Derbyans or Nottinghamonians out there?

Hey, I'm from Leicestershire too! Loughborough to be precise. It's a great area, I really love it.

I live in sunny Southport which has benefited from millions spent on it over the past few years and now looks really beautiful.

Here are some pics I took the other day:

I live in Chelmsford, in Essex. I like it, really - despite the bad reputation that Essex has (or at least Essex girls and Essex boys!). I've lived here most of my life, and seen a lot of changes, but right now I'd say it's a really great place to live - it's a good town in its own right, and not far from the country. Also, if I need to get away, it's got good transport links.

However, my girlfriend lives in Bishop's Stortford, Hertfordshire, and I'll be joining her there when we get married. I was there yesterday, and I greatly enjoyed it - it's a lot smaller than Chelmsford, feels far cosier, and again very near the countryside. Also lots of good transport links, and the fact that it's really close to Stansted Airport isn't as offputting as I'd expected.
