Phil, I like the name for us lot (Essex Enclave). Our biggest problem is transport at the moment. I'm hoping it won't stay so for too long, but I DO need to pass my driving test first...
Peterborough isn't too far for me (about an hour and a half). I can do a best part of 2 hours driving without having to stop, in general. Like I think I've said to most people though: No tanks til after June! I've got too much going on at the moment to make it sensible. I am preparing myself for when I get back to work on them, but at the moment, what matters most is university places. The answer is therefore, yes, great idea, but not yet.
