GBMUD Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Well, after 9 months of trying we finally moved house this week. Having lived in the Horsham area since I was a nipper we have now moved to Trowbridge in Wiltshire. It was last March that we had the first estate agent round and since then we have lost two purchases (having arranged mortgages, surveys, contracts etc.) and one buyer, sold our old house and lived with the in-laws for a couple of weeks. I cannot begin to tell you how happy I am that it is finally over. The move started simply as a means of getting a bigger and better house but, due to the cost of housing in the Southeast we decided to look further afield. It does seem strange to have moved away from the place that I have lived for so long and that I know so well. If anyone feels they would like/need my new address then PM me.

Les Henson Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Not far from me then Chris (30-miles). I was in Westbury yesterday morning, then Warminster and Westbury again over night last night. What's brought you to the west country? Les.

GBMUD Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 Like I said Les, the cost of houses in in the Southeast really. We chose this area as it is close to lots of off-roading (Wales, SW, the plain), not too far from Horsham and not too far from London by train (Sandbag has to go to meetings there occasionally).

Guest diesel_jim Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 I'm only a couple of miles from Les, and thus only about 30 from you.... it is great for off roading here, and a general "handy" location... not too far for wales, london,Brum, south west ect.

Tell you what - it seems a bit quiet here now (and you've only been gone a couple of days!) There is no longer a critical mass of people to go to the pub with. There's a danger of me becoming thin at this rate! Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBMUD Posted December 23, 2005 Author Share Posted December 23, 2005 There will be a critical mass tomorrow night. I understand it is tickets only.. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest diesel_jim Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Welcome to Wiltshire Chris If you fancy getting out & exploring over Christmas, Imber village / ranges are open until 2nd January and will then be closed until August. Mark...., do you have the dates that Imber is open? on the difflock "salisbury plain off road day" someone says that they've contacted the MoD range staff office and they say it's closed? i've not had chance myself to ring yet, but it'll be the first christmas that i can remember that Imber has been closed. I'll be out there on the 27th should anyone want to meet up. AFAIK ther are a couple of other groups out too. a S1 club and a group from Brizzle.

Turbocharger Posted December 25, 2005 Share Posted December 25, 2005 Chris, welcome. I think this calls for a New Year "everyone who's in the south west but doesn't want to drive as far as Payhembury for Luvvers' monthly meeting" pub trip. Hope the new house is good, nice christmas present! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
