if I was not in this place now, Guildford I would be!

Since I was a kid my favourite place to live if I had to move was Guildford. Hear me out before you shout me down on this one.


This is what I like about it..
1. It sits in the best county in the country Surrey
2. Officially a city as it has its own cathedral
3. Its history and its castle ruins, the architecture is wonderful.
4. Multiculturalness (i like that) mainly I think because of the students from the college
5. Best cafe's and restaurants
6. Best shopping (it beats Kingston hands down!!)
7. Buskers. Not your scruffy lot but interesting colourful characters that wash.
8. Guilfest music festival but only in recent years
9. People look cool. Its the place where I consider what I wear before I go there, because people dress so nicely in Guildford.
10. My local and favourite branch of Richer Sounds is there. (DVD and Hi-Fi arooney!)

So why blog about something trivial like this. Well thats what its about right? It was going into Guildford for the first time in a year with my son, and soaking up the cool relaxed vibe. It just felt 'nice' to be there again. To sit in a familiar place drinking a perfect coffee, watching nice people dressed nicely, a breath of fresh air.

So I ask you why do you think I feel like this about Guildford? Why not choose somewhere exotic? Why not Kingston or even London?

Anyway i'm off now as i'm getting ready for my Sweden trip for this weekend. Thanks for bothering to read this far! :)
