In a word - quiet! Suits me fine.

Thought you might like to put some pics/descriptions of your area.
Here goes:-

The town

The countryside

The coast

and this virile chap cut into the scenery!

Your turn now!

Thanks - I love it. Don't think it's too great for the young folk though - can't afford houses etc etc

It looks lovely Dm are there plenty of places to Dogwalk?

I live in a tiny village tucked into the Pennines and looking out over the Lake District

this is the view from the front of the house

and this is the other side, the Valley with the River Eden in

This is from January when the River flooded, you can see the Lake District fells in the background

Lovely too Het, in a colder sort of way (I'm just a softie!

)

I know the Eden Valley a bit. When OH was teaching he used to run an Easter field course there - we were based in the Youth Hostel at Appleby. I went along as matron/chaperone for the girlies! Think I've been there 5 or 6 times.
(Want to know about the geomorphology of High Cup Nick, rainfall at Seathwaite {isn't there just!!!} or glacial retreat???? - just ask me, I've heard it enough times!)

Had some good times, with weather varying from phew! to horizontal freezing rain!

Dorset has lots of dog-walking possibilities. We can walk to the woods or river direct from the house, 5 minute drive to the downs and 25 minutes to Studland (nudist) beach

. Fortunately they take their willies indoors as the autumn approaches!

No Nudists round here, well not officially

I'm about ten miles from Appleby, and yes everytime I go to Seathwaite it rains!! but I suppose thats what people expect from the Lake District.Keeps the Kagoule manufacturers in business

DM and Het.....you both live in beautiful places!!
DM, is that anywhere near Poole?

dinahsmum · 13-10-2005, 01:17 PM

Mags - pic 5 is Studland Bay between Swanage and Poole/Bournemouth.
If you're there about 10 past 12 you see the fery from Cherbourg coming in - it looks as though it is going overland as it sails through the channel above the broad sweep (Does that make sense - hope so!)

You'd need really strong binoculars Mags!!!!!

Come to Studland in the summer - lots of whale sized naturist families and then, further down the beach, lone males with white bottoms

appearing from the dunes or parading at the edge of the sea with their ?camera bag? thrown over their shoulder. All just a touch on the seedy side.
We take the staffie and whisper "sausages"..............lol
