That's the plan, did you read my mind? Currently looking at west Herefordshire, Shropshire and Powys... need to be within as couple of hours' drive of Brum since pretty much all of K's family are from there and the kids will want to see their grandparents etc once or twice a month. We were down Builth Wells on Saturday, and near Leominster today looking at a 3-bed place. Both are within easy drive of Welsh wilderness, forests and streams :)

I'm pretty sure I'm going to regret asking, but what's a flarnt?

I think it depends on your upbringing... if you were raised in a city environment, then you're comfortable surrounded by houses and people, but uncomfortable when left out in the wilderness with no civilisation in sight. Whereas if you're brought up in the country (my parents ran a self-sufficient farm, http://www.sustainability-researc h.org.uk/), the sheer number of humans in cities is disturbing and if you're forced to live there, your soul yearns for a natural environment. I have nothing against city folks in particular, I just don't want to live there. As for not making it to the meetup.... believe me, I really wanted to come down on the Friday, but I forgot I had an afternoon appointment that I couldn't get out of.

Straw hat & smock, grass in mouth, leaning on a gate saying 'YARRRR' to anybody that happens to pass by

No, I missed that fact
