Re: Where you live.

Hull is a beautiful city steeped in history and on the banks of the mighty river Humber. Many long distance walks start by the ferry terminal and traverse the Yorkshire Wolds all the way to the East Coast. On a warm summers day there is no finer place......

Re: Where you live.

I live on the outskirts of a city, 15 minutes drive and we are in the country and 45 minutes we are at the nearest seaside.

Lots of takeaways for £5 within walking distance, lots of lovely happy people. Quick escape routes to the M4 & M40

Downside: It's not Lisbon.
Nope it is not, you must miss Lisbon.
But you are lucky. I thought you were thinking of moving ????

I live near a small town which has all I need in the way of shop.
As long as you are happy, that is important.
