John_W profile image
John_WGraduateAmbassador in reply to GoogleMe

Why impossible and what's your motivation for visiting?

GoogleMe profile image
GoogleMeGraduate in reply to John_W

Money, first and foremost or I could go by myself. Other people not understanding the motivation the other. Wildlife (especially birds), culture (Port Sunlight) Ness Gardens, you name it...

John_W profile image
John_WGraduateAmbassador in reply to GoogleMe

I work in Port Sunlight :-) It's where I do most of my running, around the historic village.  And this Saturday, although not a bird-watcher, I hope to see, for the 1st time, the high tide at Parkgate.

You must be quite far away if money is an issue to get here?

GoogleMe profile image

Nope, just tight budget and other things have to take precedence.

Grew up in Rushden, Northamptonshire UK.  Spent time in Burton-on-Trent, then Cricklewood, before settling in Rugby Warwickshire from 1988 to 2004. Since April 2004 I live in France. From 2004 to 2008 in Puiseux en France just north of Paris, since 2008 in a little village called Ménars, on the north bank of the Loire, 15 minutes from Blois, which is situated mid way between Tours and Orléans.  Wonderful for running, as there is a path running along the levy used by walkers and cyclists and runners :)

I'm a Brit in Germany. Have always wanted to visit New England, I've heard it is beautiful. Strangely enough my maternal grandparents got married in Boston. I'd like to see the church they got married in, amongst other things. There are other Americans posting here, you're not alone!

PotterBookGraduate in reply to boptillyoudrop49

Thank you! I am only 45 minutes south of Boston. It is a beautiful city, but as I was born in the Bronx, NY and raised near New York City, Boston seems small to me. I've lived in Massachusetts going on 12 years this October. I really would love to see more of the world, especially Europe. I've been to Portugal, but have yet to venture out to see more. It is on my to-do list for sure.

I enjoy being amongst all of you wonderful people. As I read your replies and locations I try to hear your accents in my head as I read. It's lovely. I have always adored the British accent. It makes my English sound so.. Blah. :)

The edge of the Peak District, in the Derbyshire Dales. That's my view from my bed in my profile. I don't have curtains so that it is the first thing I see when I open my eyes (assuming I don't have a cat on my face that is and that it isn't completely white with mist) Very spoiled with lovely places to run, although there is an intellectual challenge in finding the flat bits!
