lanesra 3,994 Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 So many different places for so many different reasons.... Theres still parts of East London i love in its own special way,the rawness and excitement etc.....Burnmouth up on the Scottish border is a place i love,infact theres a small layby on the a1 that looks down over the cliff on a house/farm ive had my eye on for years,beautiful air and scenery. Went to a place called Forres up near Inverness some years ago the mrs fell in love with it and i ended up buying a small place there a stones throw from raf Kinloss but only managed to get up there a handful of times and ended up selling last year....unbelievable beauty....the highlands take some beating for scenery in my opinion though theres still a few places in Wales that are on my " to do " list. In all honesty i dont think anywhere in the south comes close to the north for natural beauty. Had a few nights out in East London , 1 pub Princess alice i think it was called was INTERESTING , Dont take the piss Gnash but done the "Jack the Ripper" tour with the mrs and it was superb to be honest Quote Link to post Share on other sites
