Can anyone give me a brief on the area? Snowdrop is considering putting in for 'last tour' there - blimey - last tour!!

Countryfied, out in the sticks near the Mid Welsh border in Shropshire, about 1 1.2 hrs from us, Used to go flying with the Air Cadets from there

Countryfield is perfect for me - and only 1½hrs from you yaaaay

Will you be sorry to end the nomadic lifestyle do you think?

I get itchy feet even now. We've been here 11 years, the longest I've ever lived anywhere in my puff.

Yes and no - it has good bits and not too many bad bits, I have enjoyed twenty years of new adventures and it isn't over until end of 2015 - what a party that will be

One good thing about moving, one never gets chance to gather too much clutter.

They have some REALLY good parties there (he said knowinly ) particularly the themed "Help for Heroes" ones,wander around the local hedgerows in the summer & you will find a proliferation of Mirabelle plums for jam making,later in the year you will find similar amounts of rose hips & sloes.
Shrewsbury flower festival is only a hop,skip & jump away

Don't know much about the local area, but your only a few miles from the Llangollen canal one of the prettiest canals in the country and lined with very nice pubs. If you feel adventurous take a walk across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct a wonderful Thomas Telford construction but take a head for heights with you.
