I have lived in Northamptonshire all my life. I grew up on the warwickshire border but, in '88, got a job in Northampton itself that paid enought for me to get my own place. Not in Northampton, unfortunately, but in one of the Eastern towns of the county. But I managed to move 30 miles from my parents and 5 miles nearer to work in one go. Not bad.
I now live in a village just outside and it's pretty (ish), quiet, good pub food, near to a forest for walks etc and only and hour (from the station) to London for meetings with production companies.
We've lived here for over 8 years which means it's the second longest I've lived anywhere, just overtaking my batchelor pad, and we're really settled.
My wife, however, has just sneaked upstairs to do a pregnancy test which may mean we're on the move again, as all of our 3 bedrooms are full. A tense few minutes awaits, I feel.
too quick for some
