If I move hundreds of miles I want more than alright. Totnes is alright, but it doesn't suit me. Others love it.

I like Buxton.

I don't know Glossop well enough to imagine what living there would be like.

Chinley - I'll never forget jumping out of a train there aged nine into 18 inches of snow on the station, so that's out. And the League of Gentlemen hasn't helped around Hayfield etc. Could never go to a Butcher and would be permanently on the lookout for Papa Lazarou.

Bakewell is lovely but a bit too far up its own bottom. I love the villages, but I fear I'd be cut-off and lonely.

Wirksworth's odd but in a good way, always liked Matlock, like Darley Dale, but Two Dales, Rowsley, Ashover are too villagey.

A two-bedroomed cottage in Holymoorside would be ideal, but they're very rarely on the market and when they are there's a reason ...... I could do Newbold, Somersall, Walton, Brookside, Ashgate, Brockwell, Old Brampton, bits of Brampton, even Hady and bits of Whittington I'm not that fussy. Barlow would be nice or Cutthorpe, they're close enough to town ..........

Today it's too hot to think. Hope it's cooler in Matlock.

Glossop's alright it borders Tameside and it's not far from Greater Manchester, plus I think it has a bus which goes to Holmfirth or it did do, also it's got a big Tesco's. Chinley's alright it's got a very accessible train station to Manchester and Sheffield, then you aren't far from Buxworth, Whaley Bridge or Chapel-en-le-Frith either. Then there is Furness Vale which is between Whaley Bridge and New Mills

Ben Foster the Watford goalkeeper has his own Youtube and he does a lot of cycling and he came up to the Peak's the other month and cycled from Whaley Bridge over to Buxton then to Tideswell and down into Castleton then past Mam Tor and then cycled back towards Whaley Bridge.
