mistakenly thought i'd replied to this!i'm in clare, south west suffolk, uk.nearest 'catters are mcgrath in harlow, or grab(?) in cambridge
this was the big apple of the 13th century,eleanor of aquitaine buried here, dukes of clarence named from here, claret named after the grapes that were taken from here to france, county clare in ireland was a wedding settlement.
i'd be happy to be sure i could stay here for the rest of a very long life. the people here are close, not closed,quiet with a low crime rate.
as an alternative, i'd like to see new england, somewhere where the leaves turn amazing colours in the autumn,where there are definate seasons, snow in winter,sun in summer,but neither in extreme. or even new zealand.
dream on as they say any 'catters nearer than those mentioned? cheers
