Default Belmont Villas Question

My husband and I just bought a villa on Leicester Terrace in Belmont Villas. What is the correct pronounciation of Leicester. In the UK, it would be "Lester", how does TV pronounce it?

Hey Palmers ... welcome to the neighbourhood. We also live on Leicester Terrace (pronounced Lie ster). You will just love the area, it is fabulous.

Please PM me and let me know which house you bought and when you'll be moving in. I'm so excited for you.

Hi Neighbor. We live on the same street but are up north right now. We pronounce it Lie chester but we may be wrong. It is a great neighborhood. So close to everything. We won't be down until mid October so Nice to meet you online.

Hi Neighbors
We also pronounce it Lie-ster. Welcome to the neighborhood. We're only there occasionally, but look forward to meeting you the next time we're in paradise. PM me and let me know where you are.

Oh, what fun .... hi Opus and Coljudge, my two favourite sets of neighbours! And we should soon be hearing from Time for Tee, another member of TOTV who lives on Leicester.

Default Leicester (pronounced Lester in England)

I hear Belmont Villas is practically empty during the summer months.

Hope no burglars are reading this thread!!!

Note to any burglers reading this thread .... You may want to make a note to avoid Courtyard Villa developments. They're full of dogs, even during the summer!

I guess I should have mentioned that most of the year-round residents that live in Belmont Villas have dangerous dogs. Huge vicious dogs with sharp fearsome teeth and loud barks! We have two dogs and so do many of our neighbours.

Yea, we have some new friends to meet! Hi and welcome to Palm Tree Lane. We are in Il. for the time being but homes on both sides of us are full time residents with MEAN dogs who chase anyone away that may want to see who might be away for the summer.
We are happy that you bought in our area and looking forward to meeting you at our Driveway Parties
Congatulations on your purchase in The Villages!!!
Time for Tee

Default Thanks to our new neighbors

Thanks to all our new future neighbors. We cannot wait till the day arrives when we truly are neighbors. In the meantime, have all those mean dogs watch over our villa. Thanks.
