Having hated it to start with and feeling like a fish up a tree at first, kinda sad my months work in Weymouth is over. They might talk weird but such accommodating people and I dont get views like this back home. Will kinda miss the place...
Serious, I'm thinking of getting out the smoke and moving down. More for my kids than me tbh. Such nice place and relaxed. Didn't realise how much of a rat race London was until you get out.
I've lived in Hampshire all my life and I'm a bumpkin I admit. My wife on the otherhand, is from a city and it took her a while to adjust to life here but we are in the sticks so it was quite a change. No street lights, no pavements, gas or mains drainage, that sort of thing, but we do have some roads. Even if you lived in somewhere like Southampton, I'm sure you would still find it quite a challenge at first but it does have it's advantages as well. Less crime,less traffic than London for sure.
Tbh the whole months been an eye opener for me personally. My brain couldn't compute how much you have to do for your self at first like actually walking to the shops instead of it being in your face non stop. Didn't really think much of the scenery at first but after a while it grows on you, instead of hearing non stop sirens and flashing lights. I just dont really want my kids growing up in a warzone which LDN is fast becoming.
A few miles from me, in North Somerset. It’s a reservoir for Bristol, but it’s a great place for a walk, and it was glorious this afternoon.
Looks pretty nice. Get me after a month in countryside I'll be drinking scrumpy and saying alreet before you know it!
I tried one this week I'd never heard of,cheddar valley? **** me it looked like a pint of lucozade! Few of them and I defo felt it not gonna lie!
Friend of mine lived in Nempnett Thrubwell. His house on Awkward Hill overlooked Blagdon Reservoir. Is a lovely part of the county
