That sounds like heaven! I live in Birmingham which isn't great for a country girl.

I'm a transplanted Londoner - we've been in Yorkshire for about 10 years and I'm still getting used to village life which is much, much slower and can be really frustrating. On the other hand I don't think I could ever go back to city living, just visiting cities makes my head spin nowadays - even Sheffield which is dinky.

I'm up in the North East, but moving to London this summer for a year

[PhatPhoenix]

I nearly said *In a village* but we're between two villages, a few miles from York. North Yorkshire born and bred!

I lived in Birmingham for 20 years. Now I'm home I'll ever leave Yorkshire ever again! I hated living in a city!

[sarahgrace]

I've done the opposite Birmingham to york then back! Which bits of birmingham Phat and doughnut?

[Doughnut]

Ooh - I lived in York once too but only for a year. I loved it - that's my idea of a city if you have to live in one.

Edited * - sent specifics in a pm

I'm a fen girl too ( but then imworthit knew that as she's my mum).

Norf London - Finchley,

However I used to live in Gainford in County Durham, which is between Darlington and Barnard Castle.

THEN my inconsiderate parents moved to Goathland (where they film Heartbeat dontcha know) and I kinda used that as a base for the end of school/Uni years. I can't ever say I really "lived" there as I was always somewhere else during term time!

I used to live in South Ken for Uni, then Egham in Surrey, then Hounslow, mighty Hounslow (I really liked it there) and now Norf London.

[PhatPhoenix]

I went there as a student, and lived in Moseley - then after uni, stayed and lived in Bartley Green for years, then Kings Heath. Our house in Bartley Green was a council house, but it was an old Victorian terrace, not on an estate and had a massive garden with a field behind and the country park opposite so it didn't feel so much like living in a city. We later lived in Kings Heath. Handy for the shops but we didn't want our kids to grow up there - they couldn't go out and play, etc and we had a tiny garden in our last house (and an alcoholic living next door screaming 'Danny Boy' and swear words at 3am!)

Where's you in Brum?
