We now live on a new estate which joins onto the ‘old’ village. This estate was build about ten years ago and it is a huge development. I can’t imagine what the residents of the ‘old’ village must have thought when it was built. The estate has a Community Centre in the middle, playgrounds and a large green area in the middle, but most of the facilities are found in the village itself.
There seems to be a real sense of community and everyone is very friendly. I had a long chat with the lady in the Children and Family Centre, she gave me a tour and told me about some of the many activities and groups that there are for families. I also love living so close to the library. I will miss living down a footpath from a massive supermarket, but I think that all these other things within walking distance more than make up for that.
Walking around the village itself is not particularly toddler friendly, with some narrow footpaths and a lack of pavements. But I’m looking forward to getting out with the little ones and joining in!
We didn't find the library so that could be a focus for next time
ReplyDeleteIt's always so comforting when you really like the place you have moved to! I've subscribed to email updates so I can keep an eye on posts to feature at some point on the Britmums Newbie Tuesday, which Annie has handed over to me. I look forward to reading more :)
ReplyDeleteMum, I'll point you in the direction of the library next time you're here! And Actually Mummy I'm glad that you like the blog, I'd love to be featured if you find a suitable post!
