I live in Guildford in Surrey, a lovely historic market town full of vibrant fresh and funky people. Thanks to several colleges, the Univerisity of Surrey and theatres and theatre schools. Shopping is excellent many high street stores; Marks n Sparks, WH Smith, Boots. Designer boutiques; Karen Millen, Versace, Ted Baker and loads of independent retailers. Once a month there is a Farmers Merket with a huge range of wholesome organic foods and drink, their is a supplier who creates amazing apple beverages, both alcoholic and non and a normal market twice a week; Fri and Sat.

There's lots to do and see, plenty of history a castle a museum (which is a lot better than you first think!) and loads of great bars, pubs and restaurants. Plus just 40 mins to London, Waterloo and yet lots of green stuff, walks, rides and boat trips, yes boats on the river Wey and on the Wey navigation around the area with the South Downs trail a mere ten minute car drive away.

So where do you live and what can you do to convince me to come see it?

And if you are a fist time visitor to my blog welcome, have you ever been to Guildford before?
