Your right there is a lot of nice space up north, but Laaaanden does have a large amount of green space for a smog central location!

Also everyone has a price! You just don't know what yours is yet!

Just caught up with this one! Hi, I'm Sarah, 54, originally from Saaf London, (Hi Rossi-Mac!) but escaped to Norfolk where I've been for past 30 years. Live with husband and our 2 youngest children (of 5 ). Work from home, part employed and part self-employed. Have one scatty labrador, marmalade cat, 6 hens. Diagnosed 2 years ago (originally as type 2) and run, do Yoga and walk the dog for excercise. I've got an 'ology, a PGCE and a Dip, but you can get pills for it apparently!

Don't have much time for much else, but grow lots of veg, like eating, reading, watching telly, music, seeing friends. Ambition is to see the Northern Lights and...

Just love that Italian language and always wanted to go to Italy - ah one day - where would you recommend!

I went to both Florence and Venice in late April - not too hot and not too crowded! Loved both places, especially the tranquility of Venice when you wander off the tourist track. Also, I got to have a drink in Harry's Bar, formerly frequented by one of my literary heroes Ernest Hemingway!🙂 And I must also add that I found the Italian people to be very friendly and welcoming.

Hello back Sarah, I bet you miss the saaf side of the river some days something rotten, but others, not at all! Something strangly hypnotic about it, but soon I'll be gone too! Not venturing as far as Norfolk though. Need to be within shouting distance of certain boozers in saaf london you see.

MMmmmm Youngs beer - did the Youngs trail once with some friends a got a free Ferkin (now, now!). Yep, miss the trees - grew up near Putney/Wimbledon common and often went to Richmond Park via Roehampton Gate. My school was featured in Love Actually and one of the last Prime Suspects, don't you know.

Thanks Daniela. I've been looking for a while at weekend breaks in Florence and Venice and a friend was mesmerised by Rome and its history. I'd also like to traverl around a bit, into the countryside. I'll have to learn some Italian, if my brain will remember it - bet it will sound strange with a Saaf london accent with a Norfolk twang!
