Here is the link to where I live. The red arrow is pointing to the wrong house, mine is opposite, on the corner with the big sweep of garden round it. If you pan out you can see how close to the sea we are.

Sue's house

Ooops that does seem to work, Try putting in the post code CO15 1BS.

Hey Sue...I think I know which house you mean!! You are sooo lucky to live by the sea...I would love to one day!! I love this idea of looking at each other's areas...I hope others add to the thread especially from different countries! The only impression of american neighbourhoods I have is from tv shows like desperate housewives!! Would love to have a more realistic view!!

Thanks Emma, where's your then? :rolleyes:

Okay, here's mine. Our house is two to the left with the gray roof.

Denise's house

I've been looking for a picture of the front of our house but can't seem to find one and it's raining today...

wow Denise...I can't get over how neat all the sections of road are...they are in the most perfect squares with such straight roads!! Things are a big more winding over here!! Here is my area from above...

This is my little village from a great height!


Here is my street zoomed in...we are a couple of houses to he right


This is my street from the back....this is where I often walk the doggies


The village green from the main road


The church in the centre of the village


As you can see it is an exciting place to live...hmmm...!

Hope this works.

wow, you seem out on your own there Beecharmer!! Is that woodland behind your house??

You village is lovely Emma. Beecharmer I see what Emma means you are all alone!! I love your place Denise, it looks lovely. All of yours make mine look very built up, it may be by the sea, but it is a typical sea-side town. I wish we had a bit more greenery around us.

Thanks for sharing I love having a nose around! :laughingsmile

Oh, I love this! So far, we have Sue by the sea, Emma in a lovely little village, Beecharmer definitely in the country, and our subdivision. I tend to find everyone else's much more interesting...Anyone else??

Ok, hopefully this works - I live in downtown Chicago

oooh that was interesting Kristy...you can go to street level...I was just having a wander down your road! We all live in very different areas...its interesting to see how cities and even suburbs are built in America...again, with the straight roads like a grid system...you don't get that at all here...if you look at a ariel view of London it is completely different..I guess because cities here are so much older and were built up over such a long amount of time you don't get that uniform look! This is a really interesting thread! Keep posting!!

Yes, I am alone in the woods! We are in a very hilly part of the county. I will try to take some pictures tonight of the house & woods. I like this thread too. Very interesting.

Heather's House

FUN!! The "A" is in the wrong spot, we are 3 houses to the left of it (a lane is beside us). Chrissy (Daisy's Mom) is directly across the road from us. Towards the bottom left of the page is a green space - we go there often as a family because we can play fetch with Sabre which Judd plays on the playset & slides.

Okay here goes. Hope this works. This is so much fun

The Frost House in Canada

Hm I just notice it says "London" instead of "Port Franks" Stupid people probably never heard of our little village :laughingsmile

Kristy, I didn't realize you were downtown Chicago! I figured you were in one of the suburbs. Heather, it's nice you live close to a place you can take Judd and Sabre to play. And so many trees, Bonnie! We all really do live in such different neighborhoods. Emma, I bet you're right about why London looks the way it does. I took a look at it on Google Earth. Pretty cool! I'm really enjoying this thread...

Oh I love seeing where you all live! But how do you get your link to work? :shrug

I had trouble at first too
Go onto the net www.map.google
put your address in
on the right side near the top it say links....copy it
the use the http:// button on your message (button up above here)
Paste in the map address you just copied
Post message and it will show up
Hope this helps

And in those trees are nothing but trails and sand dunes
If you pan over to the left on the map you will see how close the lake is
It is only 2 mins. from the house. You can hear it at night even though we don't live on the shore line

I noticed the lake Bonnie & thanks for the instructions, I never noticed that link button before! :rolleyes:

Here we go: Sue's House

This is my estate seen from the beach:


And the steps where we go onto the beach:


The Promenade, this is where we often take the dogs on a leaded walk after dinner in the evening. Looking towards home:

And looking the other way towards the peir:



Entrance to the peir:


And this is how my estate looked when it was a Butlins holiday camp. My nan used to work there & I remember visiting her when I was very little. They pulled it down in the 1980's, then in the 90's they built my estate:

Our house on the hill. Check out my baby running to me!!

Oooh Beecharmer I love where you live, perfect for Goldens to run!! :clap

She just loves being outside. I don't think she ever got to run at her old house. She lived in town with a tiny yard. I have been taking her to the hunting preserve with me and she snoops around and tries to find stuff. She loves it there too.
