Guest plumb/pom Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 :Wub:Hi there! thanks for your reply we live in Quorn near Louughborough do you no it?! Were just waiting for our visas at the moment so are living very much in limbo! We visted Perth earlier on in the year and loved it, where abouts are you living? and can you offer us poms any tips! Look forward to hearing from you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kym_and_James Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Absolutely. Love the guinnes pies at the Quorndon Fox. I lived in Hathern, other side of Loughborough... I grew up in High Wycombe, in the foothills, nr Kalamunda (east of the city). When we were renting we lived in Bentley, Belmont, and Rivervale. Close to the city but very suburban. Close to shops and work but not much else. Now we have bought a house in Rockingham and I love it down here. We have all the shops we need down here (except Ikea which I WILL travel for ). It's suburban like the other places but it's on the beach and there are marine parks nearby. Just lovely for snorkelling and there are islands to visit in a canoe or boat. All on the doorstep. It is further from the city but it takes about the same amount of time as when I was closer because of the train. Catching the bus to the city always take longer than the train. My best tip would be to rent here first before you commit to a house that doesn't suit your budget or your new lifestyle. We only have a small house but it has a huge patio and great little garden, suits our outdoor lifestyle more now. Let me know if you have any more questions.
