Greater Manchester anyone?

I seem to see quite a few expats either in Yorkshire or the South, but I was wondering if anyone else lived in or around sunny Manchester?

I'm not really super close to Manchester, but I am in Derbyshire, closest larger city is Burton on Trent. My husband lived in Manchester before we met. I haven't had a chance to visit up your way yet. Closest I've been would be Sheffield, Stoke on Trent or the Peake District.

The closest I've been your way is Nottingham! I've hardly ever ventured south (yet)! If we take a day trip out, we usually head towards Yorkshire.

I lived in Liverpool for 4 1/2 years (that's where I went to University) before moving to Manchester. I still worked there until last year too so all my friends are there and feel like I have none in Manchester :-/

Nottingham is a cool city! It was our closest city to give notice for our marriage back in 2014, so I've spent a bit of time there. Yorkshire is just lovely! I really enjoyed Whitby/Scarborough and York when I've been.

I can understand that. It seems to take quite a bit of time to make friends once your out of school... Work is good place for it, I've got a few folks from my last job I'm keeping in touch with (I'm unemployed at the moment myself... It blows). All of my friends are back in Colorado/US. So I totally understand.
