We're moving into a 6 month rental next Tuesday (complete our sale on the 8th) in Poole, and I guess we'll do our first trip up over the weekend of either 10th or 17th Jan.
But you've not had the housewarming yet! Right distance from HW, little further from WY, but you'd like Kenilworth & Knowle; lots of pubs & walks. Stratford upon Avon, Warwick, Leamington Spa & Solihull all within 20 mins for shopping.
If you come to explore Northamptonshire, let us know for

It is the Rutland and Stamford Mercury .I am happy to send if you don't find enough info online. It has a very good property section
Thanks Daphne - I'll take a look online and if I can't find it I'll send you my address for hard copy. This is why I still love the PH community.
Happy New Year everyone

I used to live in Wokingham, which is nice but full of London commuters and so bloody expensive.
I now live just outside Solihull (Knowle direction).
Rutland is lovely but it's a bit in the sticks, I really enjoy where we are because it feels countryside-y and is a lovely place to be, but is nice and close to motorways so (for example) a booze run to France isn't an impossibility.

Most places in Rutland aren't too far from the A1 and then its straight down south to the m25 so a trip for booze isnt out of the question. Personally I cant abide having neighbours and urban sprawl and so a rural life is great, each to their own I suppose.I used to live in Wokingham, which is nice but full of London commuters and so bloody expensive.

I'm in a similar situation. I live in Kibworth Harcourt, it's on the A6 between Leicester and Market Harborough. It has excellent facilities including a good co-op, post office, great book shop, deli and couple of very nice restaurants. It's a 20 minute drive in to Leicester and 15 mins to the M1 & A14.I used to live in Wokingham, which is nice but full of London commuters and so bloody expensive.

Just the right balance of village life and living in a rural community. Been here nearly 3 years, it's the nicest place I've lived since I left home.
