Wow, Ophelia, I'm not really sure. I've been to so many places in
the UK. At this stage in my life I know I do not want to live in a
major city, but preferably in a moderate to small village. It's
easier and quicker to travel in the UK than in the US, and as I used
to travel frequently to NYC, I would want to travel to London, mainly
to take in shows at the West End theaters. I've heen remiss in
writing, but it would be nice to discuss this and other things
further. I'll write tomorrow.

It is all a matter of preference I suppose. I am a Yorkshire Lass and that
is my preferred place apart from Scotland. As you know I came up here with
work and have now been here so long it would be hard to uproot and live
somewhere else. Even Yorkshire we only go for holidays

I have lived in many places in the world and country but I am done with all
that now I have no interest in returning to any of them
