How about Poshshire? ½ way twixt Abingdon & Sheffield..Met Mrs A_T at Dundee Uni, she got a job first in Newcastle. I followed 2 years later, married, children- still in the same house 30 years later. It was 90 miles to both sets of parents so they were no help and then they all moved to us after the children left for university!
Our first grandchild is due in a month so once she's settled in we'll be moving near to them while we're useful!
Village has a sports' centre, surgery, supermarkets, library, good cafes in walking distance, good cycling, little through traffic, near enough to Newcastle- so all boxes ticked.
Only problem is one set in Sheffield and the other in Abingdon, so any suggestions for a similar village to what we have now, roughly halfway, would be much appreciated!
I might be able to just about afford a hovel, or at a push a hut with a 'night closet'.How about Poshshire? ½ way twixt Abingdon & Sheffield..

While definately not trying to pee on your parade, I was born in Cornwall and love it when I visit....wewent to Newquay once on a day trip. It gave me a headache, the most frustrating place I've ever been for driving and trying to get parked , (not including Cairo mind). It must be a mare for the locals.Joined the RAF in 1974 to get away from home and learn something. After training, first posting was Oakington, near Cambridge, ie not far from home ine Essex. When Oakington was closed to become an Army camp, I got free choice of posting, and chose the furthest I could get from Essex that wasn't heading north, and went to RAF ST Mawgan, near Newquay in Cornwall. After some odd moves around the area, we're in Tavistock, but depite all its touristyness, Newquay is where we need to be.

To be fair, rural poshshire isnt too bad for prices. Move i to Northampton town or, even worse, MK and prices sky rocket, but the villages aren't so pricy. That said, the maket is a bit distorted at the moment and its rutal areas getting the price spanking.I might be able to just about afford a hovel, or at a push a hut with a 'night closet'.
[Edit: I could ask Drago if he'll sell his at a suitably reduced mates rate, I appreciate that the 'night closet' wouldn't be then be included... so he can move to a time share shepherd's hut on Aldernay].
