Tony, When hubby and I were younger we lived in Hillbrow and both worked in the middle of Johannesburg, ten minutes walk form where we lived. The city never slept. I could not do it today. I love the quite winter months and the sound of the sea crashing on the cliffs. Two months of uncomfortable heat is a small price to pay for our little corner of paradise. Lindy;-)))

In the country but not too remote. I live in a small town so suits me well. Love to visit the city but pleased to get home again.

I like it where I am on the very edge of a small coastal town.There are fields within 2 minutes walk, which will soon be filled with lambs. I would hate to live in a city but am realistic enough to think that depths of the country living might not be right either.

Hi Tony, Lived in the city until 14yrs ago. I would never go back pace of life is so much more relaxed and friendly. Go into the city now and then shopping but cant wait to get home. Wendy ( on the yorkshire wolds)

Tony.... I have lived in Rome and London and now I'm stuck in a Market town that has village mentality!! My husband and I split up last year so all my nights out tend to be anywhere but Newbury for the fear of bumping into him.... not a physical fear I might add! But Yeah, the city is always awake with you no matter what time it is and even better it's awake when you can't sleep and I love that!! Pink xx

Snoopy. Australia is like any other Country,it has its good points and its bad. It has many beautiful sites to see, but so does your own Country,and I cant wait to visit it. It's the people in the Country that make it a great Country. Tony Ozx

I like access to both. Living on the outskirts of a town is ideal. Cheap taxi's home after a night out and not far to go for a nice walk to help clear the head the next day! Jack x

Snoopy. If you love Country by the seaside, then the Coastline of Queensland Australia is for you. 2,000 km's of it. Tony Oz.

I moved to Hertfordshire at the age of 23 after having been born and raised in South London, it took me a very long time to sleep at night in this quiet street having been used to the constant roar of traffic and sirens outside my window,I love shopping and visiting my family/friends in London, but no, i never want to live there again.
