Creative Cafe is International: So tell us about where you live?

[Jill]

According to the Google analytics so far Creative Cafe has had visitors from 22 countries.
In order of frequency these are United Kingdom; United States, France, Canada, Australia, Italy, Hong Kong, India, Ireland, Pakistan, Kuwait, Greece, Mexico, Phillippines, Switzerland, Columbia, New Zealand, Cuba, Spain, Germany, Belguim and Russia.

So I thought it would be nice in this discussion if members would write a bit about where they are on the planet and about the place where they live.

To start things off I am mainly in Brighton which is on the South coast of England by the sea. Brighton is a about 50 miles from London and is sometimes called 'London by the sea' because it is rather trendy, with a lot of nightclubs and fashionable shops in 'the lanes'. There are a lot of students, a big gay population in the Kemp Town district and a lot of arty creative things going on including the Brighton festival every May.
Outside the centre there are some large troubled housing estates and a general housing shortage keeps rents and house prices high. Brighton is very hilly outside of the centre as well and is joined up with Hove which is considered to be a quieter and posher.
This is just a basic outline of Brighton and I hope others from this area have more to write about where we live. And I will be interested to hear about other members hometowns in this discussion..

Hello. I'm Vicki and I live in mid Wales. I have my workshop where I can see my sheep in the field. Very therapeutic when I'm struggling to get jewellery made on time, or to fathom something else new on the computer!

I live on the side of a hill, up a steep track and the front of the house looks over the valley. I am aware, every day, of how lucky I am to live back here where I was brought up.

I'd love to see a photo of your work view! It sounds dreamy...
Best, Leslie

I live in Tennessee which is in the Southern part of the United States. Well South East I guess but we just say we're in the South. I've lived here my whole life and I really love it. Tennessee is beautiful and peaceful. I look forward to hearing about all the places that everyone lives.

Oh and I've been to Brighton twice and just loved it!

Hi! I'm CassieM from Oklahoma USA! I'm from a teeny tiny town with very few people. We just moved this last week to yet ANOTHER teeny tiny town here in Oklahoma. I'm so excited to have stumbled upon this group! I do some small creations and do direct sales for other wahm's who are creative! The town where we moved from AND the town where I live now are both mainly based on local purchases. The townspeople would much rather buy from a local farmer, a local flea market etc where they can help out a fellow friend! Its nice to meet you all!

By the way the Google Analytics now say we have had visits from a massive 58 countries!

Maybe one of these days I will find time to write them all out.

In the meantime keep adding your interesting accounts about where you live and add yourself to the Map HERE as well.

Bye for Now
