Just wondering where all us gransnetters are posting from? I know from being on here a while now that we have GNs in the UK, Australia, USA, France and Spain, but anyone from somewhere else and if so, what's it like to live there?

The Home Counties.

Lots of lovely scenery, old market towns, within easy reach of London or the south coast.

Gillybob I am not far from you. Outskirts of Newcastle Upon Tyne. 20 minutes to the theatres, shops and restaurants of the city, half an hour's drive to the country or the coast. Definitely can be chilly but some of the best beaches and most lovely scenery right on our doorstep smile

There used to be a gransnet map where you could put your location . Maybe someone can find the link ?

North Buckinghamshire. 12 -15 miles from 3 large towns and lots of lovely countryside within walking distance and more within a few minutes drive.
Love our market town.

grannymy I'm exactly 2 miles from Loch Lomond andI wouldn't swap it for anywhere in the world .Its only 18 miles to Glasgow ,I can be in Stirling in 25 minutes and its so handy for the train up the west coast to Mallaig from Dumbarton.I cant think of any downside apart from Trident parked on the other side of the hill and the convoys that pass my back door .

kittylester Wed 22-Jan-20 20:06:04

East Midlands!! Very pedestrian!!

Though it is a great place to live as my family are all within striking distance.

North coast of British Columbia Canada. A fairly remote town, but a beautiful spot to live.
