Having lived in Surrey, Kent, North London, Gloucestershire and then Devon I have no real strong roots. Part of me would like to move back to Sussex/Surrey to be near family. But then said family may up sticks and move, even to another continent. You can't rely on family nowadays. I wouldn't want to return to London. I didn't enjoy living there in the 1970s I should like it even less now. I've always had a pull towards the rural peace, quiet and tranquillity. I think it is my inherited genes coming out. Yesterday evening I found myself reading the road atlas of Great Britain. I found myself beginning to choose where we could move to. I lingered over Northumberland, or Yorkshire, or Derbyshire, even Wales - somewhere near Chester maybe? Choice - there is so much choice - how can I make a decision. Help me, please Phil.

Surrey is still OK round here, in the green belt, but expensive...
I like the North too. It's hard making life-changing decisions, but on the other hand, why not.
Phil and Kirsty are adorable, have you rung them yet?
Sounds fun... I'd love to see you on TV!
I know Merry but how long will the green belt last with Govt attempt to build zillions of homes in the SE?
If ever I get on to a TV prog I'll make a definite refernce to "my friend Mrs merryweather - the dear old duck". Then you'll know it's me.
You should ask Kirsty. She lives very near you, I believe!
My roots are well and truly deep in the red earth of mid Devon. Having said that, it's a cliche, but home is where the heart is. It's not the place, it's the people that count.
Ah Ha ! AMKT - maybe I am Kirsty!
