Used to live there, namely in Countesthorpe, for 8 years. Great time of my life living in the countryside which was a contrast from the seaside!

Hi potty potter, nice to meet you. Just seen your blogsite. We go past there when we go into the city (not very often). I used to work in Leicester - Humberstone Road side.

My Daughter does but thankfully I'm in Gods County

PS love the tip about the tomatoes, I'll tell my neighbour that one

Yes Nick, God did make Warwickshire

for those not worthy of living in Leicestershire, the home of stilton and pork pies. At least your daughter has taste.

I'm in leicester, Earl Shilton. Lovely part of the country. I moved up here from down south. Much prefer it up here.

**denise** · 13-03-2007, 10:03 PM

Earl Shilton I know where that is, my sister lives there.

**chillie girl** · 13-03-2007, 10:12 PM

Do you agree with me or am I just biased about it being lovely?

**denise** · 13-03-2007, 10:14 PM

Biased, it is lovely but northants bets it hands down.

Proper pork pies are from Melton Mobray ( LEICESTERSHIRE)

There are 7 licensed Stilton makers as it has "Protection of origin status".

Four are in Leicestershire, two in Nottinghamshire and one is in woollyback country (Derbyshire).
