Dragan you are familiar with Bedford? As for the winters if you're into wintersports etc. it's a great place. Makes you appreciate the warm days more.
Ten years ago when I was told to get my affairs in order my goal was make the next season. When I saw the snow that year I cried like a baby. I'm not embarrassed to say that either it felt so damn good to freeze my buns off playing with my son like a couple of kids in the snow.
Cheers,
Mike
