I grew up: in hollingdean
I now live: in nottinghamshire after uni up here
I'd like to end up: living in the scottish highlands when I retire (in about 30-40yrs)

How about yourselves?

I'm going to add to this, since others have been quite forthcoming.

Born in: enfield, london
Moved to stanford road, brighton aged 2

Moved to stanmer villas, hollingdean aged 11

Lived in Inverness before I came to Sussex in 1979 and believe me it is a wonderful quality of life.

However you should allow for purchasing thermals for the winter though.

Yea i went up there in May, so i couldn't get a good idea what winter is like. However there is something magical about that part of Scotland and i would be prepared to stomach the cold. In an ideal world i'd have a pad in Brighton and Scotland
