PP that's nearly 3 hours from here! ::) I used to live just outside Old Rayne - that was 2 and three quarters hours to get here. ::) Far enough ;D ;D ;D

we're coming from coventry (near as matters)
5ish hours without kids in cars, 6.5hrs with kids, more when i have to tow my trailer up!!!
my wife has gained a last minute place for a Masters course at Stirling uni starting in February hence the sudden rush to get moved!!!

Hiya,
My Dad's family is originally from Coventry, but we're in Stirling now. Feel free to ask whatever questions you like, either on here or via PM.
Womble.

and this week we have sold our house!!!
which makes life a bit easier (i didn't want to be a long distance landlord)
better get on with house hunting for us now!!!
-
Congratulations! Are you still going into rented first then or is it a push to find somewhere to buy?
-
rented first till i can sort out work etc.
just need to get Natalie there for the start of uni in February!!!
-
Congratulations!
We're on the West coast, near Oban so you'll be about 2 hours from us. You should have no problem finding a place rent in February - we're doing the same thing though, renting until we can find somewhere that is just ' us '!
-
and this week we have sold our house!!!
Congratulations!
-
ditto!
-
Congratulations to you and Natalie :wave:
The first farm I worked on was just outside Coventry - search for 'Mucky Eddie' for a story about it. I used to frequent the pub in Princethorpe (can't remember its name now) with my locally infamous tame jackdaw; the landlord was Don Fardon, who had had a Top Ten Hit ('Indian Reservation') when I was a teenager. I was all star struck about meeting Don Fardon and he was all star struck about having the infamous jackdaw in his bar! :D
-
Bloomer, well done for selling your house. I have been going through the same process so know how difficult the market is at present.
Sally you have taken me back years. I remember Indian Reservation. Oh god thats making me feel old >:(
