Somerset and I like it, though any of the West Country for me, Devon, Cornwall all lovely.
I have also lived in Pembrokeshire that was lovely as well
I would hate to live in a city,

+1 ... definitely not living in a city for an extended period anyway, there is nothing like the freedom to do what you want when you want and green fields as far as the eye can see.

Denbighshire, and i don't know why

I have to say one thing. You really know how to celebrate Nov 5th. Is it true that the Commercial display is the best, in your opinion.

When in the UK, I'm usually in Hampshire - the most glorious countryside in the whole of the UK IMO.

Impossible to say, as you can't go to them all! I'm in Cliffe, but watch from the terrace of the football club, where you can see almost all the aerial displays. The newest society, Southover, has the best I've seen, they're much more creative in use of colour etc and a bit different from most.

Cliffe usually has the best tableau and effigies imo, but that's only based on photographic evidence. The Cliffe did the fantastic Bin Laden on the bog a few years ago, and the great one of Clinton as Captain America astride a phallic rocket (the phallic rocket ejaculated great streams of white sparks at a strategic point, the symbolism of which was, astonishingly, lost on many).

And afaik, Cliffe are the only lot to use the "depth charge" - a bucket of diesel and petrol mix that is sunk into a hole in the ground and then detonated - which takes a hell of a lot of beating if you like enormous bangs and mushroom clouds of smoke.

Comical Square, as they are known by non-members, were excellent but are generally perceived to have been surpassed by Southover now.

Denbighshire we have mountains and beaches yet it's just an hour away from Liverpool, and Chester's nearby,

I'd say Norfolk (and Suffolk) are in the south of England.

London of course, I love it.I love the parks, I'm just not looking forward to when we have to start paying to go to parks.

I like Cambridgeshire too.I come from Norfolk. But I grew up inh Thetford - 30 miles from Norwich, 30 miles from Cambridge and 30 miles from Ipswich. A London overspill town too so definitely not typical Norfolk.

Cambridge, as you say is a beautiful city (albeit flat - unlike Norwich). Ely is lovely too.
I really like the Fens too. Flat and a real sense of being able to see for miles and miles pn a clear day - I love that.

Of course, Norfolk has it's strong points too. The Broads are beautiful. The North Norfolk coast is great. I live in Norwich - and it is indeed a fine city.
Yarmouth (although it is often criticised) has its strong points. It has some lovely old buildings and there is ceratinly plenty to keep you occupied there. Thetford is also heaviy criticised - but it is an ancient town which was once the third largest place in the whole of England. It has plenty of fine old buildings and has the wondeful Thetford Forest just outside it too.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll look into what you've said.

I must get down there sometime again.

Next on the agenda is the Thames Festival fireworks.
