I always say South West Sarah although I'm never sure either! We seem to be bang in the middle.  ;D

Yep I agree, we are in the South West Sue.

It is confusing though as you say, sometimes classed as midlands!

Bournemouth  is South West, which is in Dorset. The cut off  from South East to S/West is Hampshire/Dorset Border.

   Dont have a lottie but do my gardening in plymouth, cant get more south west than that. I really think the south west is only devon and cornwall, as we have the lowest wages in the country until you add glos. dorset etc.

My lotty's in Exeter and is fairly tidy at moment but little on the go.  Must get on top of it for winter.  Friend and I share it but I am currently 27 weeks pregnant so not going to be much use over winter.

Not an allotment but a garden in Cornwall,just. Bournemouth is definitely not the south west but the south ! South west is Devon and Cornwall and a tiny bit of Somerset and Dorset, perhaps, if they are good and dont talk about it.. People here sometimes talk of going to England ( Plymouth,  Devon ) to do the shopping.

My Lottie is in the small village of Shaldon, Devon. Across the estuary from Teignmouth. And the views are very distracting.

o you lucky thing, teignmouth is my favourite place.  as for bournemouth not being south west, i agree that cornwall and devon are technically south west ( i am a cornish girl myself and know the score!) but sometimes south east or west are the only options and we clearly are neither. anyway what ever...wish i had a plot in shaldon! 
whereabouts in dorset are you shed hobbit?
