How nice for you, old bean. I worked out of the big office there for
six years. There's a reason they call that area "The Graveyard of
Ambition" - once you've resided there you never want to move on as
you'll never find anywhere else as visually attractive. Hm.

I must admit it's a beautiful part of the country. Spent most of the
weekend down there and even in the rain on Friday afternoon it was
lovely.

It's a 'glad to be alive' day almost every day.

Any one in the area know anything about renting cheap digs in the
manor?

Frayed knot - try the local estate agents. This time of year rentals
are cheap and medium-term lets fairly plentiful. Easter onwards, it
changes a bit and school hols time it spirals into gross stupidity on
so many levels.

Thinking of trying to rent or buy one of those large static caravan
things - probably be able to rent it out after the contract ends.

That's a smart idea. Plenty of them about, too.


It is a lovely area with lots of nice pubs and friendly people: you'll
love it. The traffic is a different matter.

Traffic did seem a little heavy - apparently they'll soon be opening a
new bridge over the river which will make it better.

So I see:

Due to hand over in May - and they're ahead of schedule! What do they
think they're doing to the rep of the Great British Workman?

That should make a hell of a difference, actually.
