I have just had a collegue that I work with just leave after five years to live in Australia, he has met a woman now girlfriend and next year a wife.
He came from Liverpool.
I live in Jersey, but I lot of my cousins, uncle and aunties live around/between Liverpool and Manchester, just outside Warrington.

I've never been to Jersey. I've heard from a friend who has an uncle living there that you guys are very chilled and laid back. Apparently you just leave your doors unlocked through the day. I think I'd like to visit sometime. Actually I was just in Warrington a week ago. I was there for a college thing. not sure if you know where this is, But I had to go to Priestly college.

We lock our doors and windows.
A little crime but nothing serious.
Beautiful beaches, and walks
Much slower pace than the big cities.

Didn't you guys have an election a couple of days ago?
Mod
Lots of young faces, try to become senators, deputies and connestables just to make the money.
Deputies earn, 38,000-42,00(some deputies are 21 years old)
One lady/doctor was voted in St Helier, works full time as a doctor, has become a senator earning 78,000 a year, but still will work full time as a doctor ?
Mod
Just want to stay in the public eye.
Enough politics.

I lived in Tucson in the mid-1970’s because my then-husband was stationed at Davis-Monthan. I wouldn't mind going back there to live, either!
I would also Love to live in Tucson: I am in NJ and planning to relocate.
Me too Skye, let me know where you decide to go.

I am a fellow Californian! Born in SF and raised all over So. Cali.
I lived in Oxnard in the 60's, but understand it has really changed.
I love visiting Cali, but don't think I could live there again.
Lovely place to see, tho.
Party on, Dude!!!
Now a Californian, previously a Swede. :)
I grew up in a small town in the Southern Tier of New York State and now live in the Finger Lakes Region.
Re: Brenda and Skye....I am also considering the Kerrville,Texas area,because it doesn't get quite so hot as Tucson,
is in the beautiful"Hill Country" of Texas and is about an hour from San Antonio, with all those amenities.[Also,TX has no income tax!]
C; I am open for any suggestions....can we keep in touch?
Skye wrote: "C; I am open for any suggestions....can we keep in touch?"Sure,also considering Fredericksburg,and San Angelo,Texas.
Actually,Texas will probably win out over Tucson.
Do you have any zip codes? I heard Apache Junction was nice *AZ
Skye wrote: "Do you have any zip codes? I heard Apache Junction was nice *AZ"Sorry,no,don't do zip codes.I think AJ is too close to Phoenix and too open and exposed to those dust storms for me.
C - I love Kerrville and Fredericksburg! Both awesome towns. GREAT shopping and great Mexican food.I've been there several times, attending rug hooking camps. The antique stores in F'burg are some of the best I have ever shopped at.
Lisa - still hoping my hubs and I can make the move back to KC. We are looking to buy a house in either the Parkville or Liberty area. We both miss living in the midwest.........and miss Manny's! Now there is a reason to move back, huh?
I could give you a list a mile long about what we miss in KC. Nothing like those midwest people!!!!
Skye wrote: "Where are you from, Dawn: I am ready to go within the next four months."I am in Delaware Skye. I will have 30 years of employement with the State of DE the end of December and am planning to retire. I am open to moving anywhere in or out of the US. I have just had enough of DE and am with retirement am looking for a new adventure.
I was born in Shreveport, Louisiana and lived there for the first year of my life while my Dad was stationed there in the Air Force. Moved around thru Washington, Michigan, and D.C. until it was time for Kindergarten; we actually moved to Pennsylvania during President Kennedy's funeral. Raised outside Pittsburgh Pennsylvania then to Waynesburg Pennsylvania after I was married. Kicked his rear to the curb and moved back by my family who had moved back to their hometown of Greenville Pennsylvania where I lived for over 20 years raising my two children. After they flew the coop, I moved to Erie Pennsylvania where I have been for 15 years. I live with Otto, my German Shepherd Dog, who is also my service dog. Love Lake Erie and the bay, but as the years go by my bones don't care for the cold, snow, and windy winters. I spend my summers primitive camping in the Southern Tier of New York. That means as soon as the snow melts in the spring until it starts falling again in the fall. I was raised in the country so it is nice to go out into the forest, my getaway from civilization.
Lynn wrote: "Kicked his rear to the curb"LOL, Lynn! Now why have I never thought to phrase my first husband like that!!
Lynn wrote: "I was raised in the country so it is nice to go out into the forest, my getaway from civilization."
My sentiments exactly. I love being in the woods. It's a very spiritual, healing place.
