Egluntyne Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 It's just a bog standard small town. We lived about 25 miles away in Sawston for 3 years. These towns are all much of a muchness. If you can get some land.......... It's good cycling and pram pushing country.....flat as a pancake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 well my aunt used to live there, but I don't really remember it, sorry! I did some Teaching practice in Sawston - and a lot in Huntingdon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helly Welly Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 If we could get more land we'd move anywhere Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little chickadee Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Ely is very near by I think, which is quite nice - i love this part of the country so I'm biased - but I love it in East Anglia. I'd only ever move again to get more land - but only within the village I'm already in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Thanks all, although I think we've made the decision to stay put after all! It's great searching for lovely houses and thinking the grass is greener somewhere else, but when push comes to shove, I have so many lovely friends here and a lovely house that I've spent 10 years getting perfect - it's really not worth it just because I think I'll be happier with more land. I'll just hang on for my allotment instead! Thanks anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 March is in the fens so can seem very bleak. I personally wouldnt move there unless the job was a very good one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looney Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 You would have been in the fens proper in March! Not too far from my neck of the woods. I think March is a place that you either love or hate from what I have been told by people that have moved there/moved out/live there. There is a train station but not sure that the service is very frequent I love the fens Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I wouldn't move there. The fens do have beauty but can also be quite depressing. There is a big prison nearby, lots and lots of agricultural land and not a lot else. Nice old market town but full of disaffected youth. NO. Glad you are not going to do it (a bit further South is OK but much more expensive) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Yes Lorna it is love or hate - I do actually like the landscape (big skies) but I wouldn't want to live in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tenzin Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 Ar yes " the prision , and they often escape . You can see the helicopters flying over head in Murrow I know 2 prision wardens and it's a high level security prision Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tina C Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 I wasn't going to mention the escapes - or the number of cars that end up in the dykes every winter... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 Thanks, you're all making me feel much better now! It wasn't a much better job he was going for - just the same job he always does, and gets fed up with after about 6 months and starts looking for somewhere else Doesn't matter in Leicester, it'll be a while before he runs out of companies to work for and he'll be retired by then! Don't think he'd be quite so spoilt for choice over in the Fens! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
