Alright if you have a car,
Side note, I was amused to see that Warwickshire has the highest consumption of Viagra in the country. And people live longer there too. Not sure they are related lol.0 -
Plenty of quiet backwaters dotted around all over the place. Yet not to far from civilisation. I would less concerned with where I live than what I do in my retirement years.0

We're less than five miles from a vibrant city centre yet in a quiet backwater right next to a wonderful park and only a few miles from beautiful countryside.
