Another one in Wiltshire - right on border with Somerset. There are bits I don't like, and bits I love - overall I'm happy living here!

As my board name suggest, I live in Derbyshire, and wouldn't live anywhere else. I live in the same town as I was born in, the maternity home is now my vets, but have lived in more rural parts of the county, on a Scottish isle,Nottinghamshire, and in Oxfordshire.
I only have to go about 20 miles down the road, and I am in the Switzerland of the Peak, Matlock. Just a little further still, and I am on the Chatsworth estate, with all it's splendour and activities.
Only regret, wish they would make more of Derby as a city as they do with Nottingham, and that there was more fabric and knitting wool shops LOL
At the moment snowed in, like many in other counties.

Pity they had to mess with the Stepping Stones Though.Elf and Safety. No doubt.**M**.

Julia

Julia Report 2 Dec 2010 15:05

Yes Merlin, you are correct about the Elf and Safety. Can't leave anything alone can they. Even some old stepping stones that have been there for centuries.

Back to my roots in North Devon. Love the beaches, love Exmoor, love the people but loathe the blasted grockles every summer.

Julia

Julia Report 2 Dec 2010 15:19

Yes Eddie, but the town and the whole area needs the income from those grockles, just as we do in the Peak District.

GoldenGirl, Incomers,tourist, visitors that spend their hard earned cash into the coffers of the business people there, whilst enjoying themselves taking a well earned rest. It is a derogatory expression. Talk about bite the hand that feeds you.
