Sneaking in for less than a minute!
Question for Jumble, Cags, Sarai, Wendy and Josi (and any UK'ers I may have missed :
Is there a place that is sort of in the middle of where you all live?
Might make it easier for us when we're trying to figure out where we're going to stay.

Well I don't know what the others will recommend but if you are looking for somewhere in the middle and somewhere nice to stay and see something of England that's waaaay more beautiful than London (sorry Cags ) I would suggest the Peak District.

In terms of being in the middle of the Woohoos that's about halfway in between me and Josi, Jumble and Cags, very close to Wendy but unfortunately miles away from Oma. But then she's miles away from everything

[josiane]

Peak District's a good suggestion, it's very pretty Or, nearer my way, the Cotswolds are lovely too, and very English! Really though, the UK is both very small and full of interesting things, so probably most places are good bases. Plus if we know you're coming we can all arrange a Woohoomeet anyway

[josiane]

And because my geekery knows no bounds, I've just plotted us super-quick on a map: here The locations aren't exact exact, obviously I've not plotted us all to the street & house (!) just dumped the markers roughly in the right towns, but it'll give you an idea.

The Peak District is kind of around where it says Derby, so pretty much in the middle.

[Jumble]

Depending on when they're planning on coming, weren't we thinking of getting a holiday cottage in the Peak District to meet in next year? This could work out really well *bounces*

I haven't booked my holiday dates for next year yet........

"Those pictures are really nice. My favourite is the one where he's kissing your cheek. But I don't like the one where he's hugging you - I can't see your pretty face!"

Awwww! Love really is blind

[yessika]

Hello Woohoos!!

I'm ready for my classes now, let the crazyness begin!

[DutchIndeed]

*hugs WooHoos*

If there's a big UK WooHoo meet next year, I'm coming!

That is so sweet! Out of the mouths of babes comes the truth!

Thanks for the info Sarai, Jumble, Cags and Josi. (Can't believe I forgot Oma! Sorry Oma. )
Jumble, when is this cottage thing going to happen? Char has to be careful about when she can take a vaca but if it's within a certain time period it may work out. *hopeful bounce*

[josiane]

*bounces and happy dances*
That'd be AWESOME!

[Jumble]

We've got that in writing, so we'll hold you to it

No dates fixed yet. We all need to co-ordinate on that. What time period are you looking at?

Pht! What's wrong with London? Huh? Huh? I mean it's dirty and smelly and congested and, at the moment doubly so while they rip up everything to make it pretty for the Olympics and... ohh.... huh, that's whats wrong with London.

Seriously, I agree with Sarai. Everyone comes to London and, sure, there's things about it you *have* to see if you're never going to come here again (Camden Market on a Saturday afternoon, St Pauls Catherdral, Covent Garden, The Natural History Museum, The Tower of London and the crown jewels...oh I could go on, and I do have a very love/hate relationship and I'm not even a real Londoner because I live on the outskirts) but there are other parts of this beautiful country that are just amazing and wonderful and so beautiful. It's a shame so many tourists concentrate on the big smoke and forget the rest if it exists. Do see it. If you can.

The only one of those I've ever seen is the Natural History Museum, you can keep the rest
