My parents retired to Shirebrook until my dad died 14 years ago - then Mum moved away to be nearer her family further north. It was coincidence just driving around on way home from visiting mum that I drove to the area, saw a house for sale and fancied it - ages ago, then house market collapsed, took me 18 months to sell my place, original house gone off market, but just at that time another nicer one appeared - the fates obviously have it planned to their schedule and not mine!!! Still waiting to exchange contracts and trying to be patient, but just want to move now decision is made - really looking forward to it!!! Touch wood, it all goes through!
Also spent a lot of my childhood holidays on my uncle's farm just outside Chesterfield in a little place called Calow - and I absolutley loved it - really a country girl at heart! I adore having my animals around me!
