just remembered - the Cotswolds - all those lovely villages - Broadway, Stow on the Wold, Moreton in Marsh, Bourton on the Water, - absolutely delightful - if you've never visited any ot them, take a look |

Paula I understand that its proximity to the North Tyne river makes it popular for fishing but for those who prefer more active pursuits there is also an excellent 18-hole golf course and a fitness centre. |

I have recently spent a long weekend in Bellingham on the banks of the North Tyne, known as the gateway town to Kieer & Forest Park. The town boasts a thriving community that supports a cafe, three pubs, a family-run hotel (excellent by the way) with swimming pool and numerous B&Bs. It was such a beautiful area, with amazing views. I have travelled extensively but Bellingham quite possibly has the nicest friendliest people I have ever met on any of my travels. |

I don't think the people caught up in it would have described it as a "good blitzkrieg". |

mmmm..... well the revamped city centre post-IRA shows what a good blitzkreig can achieve and the trams are a plus. |

The problem with Liverpool is the terrible dereliction and urban decay which is still more than visible, making parts of it quite ugly. |

I had a lovely time in Liverpool when me 'n' him went to visit a few years ago. He went to watch the cricket and I spent my time looking around. I was only sad to see many of the beautiful old (Victorian?) houses derelict and presumably awaiting demolition. They've probably gone now :-( |

"You are so lucky to live here" ...said the numerous day and week tourists to the 'beauty spot' I used to live in. |

Uttoxeter then and now is famed for its race course ... so when slipping on my fingerless mitts to have a count up inheritance from J Blair contributes zero. He was quite a colorful character though and def. made a good impression in Chester. |

Chester is a great place with the only cloud on the horizon footballers wives ... by some miracle it has avoided urban improvement from the late victorians to the various C20 knock it down and they will come persuasion. |

I'm just sticking up for Liverpool which has an unwarranted reputation for being crime ridden - take a look at this site and Liverpool doesn't feature at all |

Even the nicest places have a downside, even if it is only that they don't have a decent cafe where you can get a nice cup of tea :-) |
