I live in a town by the sea,my house is between Tesco and the town(which is quite small) but is alright. The transport is crappy,trains only come about once a hour. Lived here all my life and I adore it.

This is the North beach,where the pier and habour is. We also have a South beach but that's really stony. They're currently ruining the habour and planning to build a gazillion apartments :sad:

We have 2 Church's both over 300 years old, a very old library, 6 classic pubs, a park with tropical birds, deer and goats, Ooo and a victorian castle . We also have a 32 acre Cemetery, where Amy Winehouse filmed her video Back To Black. Our most famous neighbour the one and only Leona Lewis, Her parents are still living here as is her boyfriends family. Some history.. Erm.. The first bomb of WWI was here, Up the road from me. Oh yeah and their is an america style cinama. Here are some pictures of stokey!

What's it like where I live?

****!

[Christina]

Theres probably no way that i could glamorise my area but i must admit.. its an extremley exciting area to live in and the friends are fab of course!

On Facebook they describe Brixton [South London] like this:

Brixton Academy, Ritzy cinema, gun crime, drug dealers on the street, countless number of fried chicken shops - what's not to love about Brixton?

So yeah.. it seems to be the source of all teen gun crime.. and drugs lmao. I live about 5 mins away from the main part of Brixton.. but i live on a quiet road in a terraced house.

Some pics:

[bronaaaa]

I doubt there's alot of pictures of where I live.
Its a few miles out of town, in a hamlet. Thers's a shop, hairdressers, restuarant and a school, and there's a church nearish. My house is like a mile away from the shop, up a big hill :/

There is a rather grim/funny story about that...
As there is many steps leading up to the church it would be difficult to carry up a coffin.... so they crafty people who designed the layout made a back entrance (you drive up a large hill and walk round the side, still entering the front of the chapel), well, a few years ago.. men who were driving the hurse didn't know about the back entrance.... they took the coffin up the steps and droped it around 4 times... (there was no one in the coffin.. LOL).
