Just wondering. . . where are we all?

Hampshire, just north of Portsmouth

Jane10 - we've been here a while, projected move will be back to northern England when DH retires, but who knows where or when... I've just posted on the thread for Edinburgh meet on the 16th but may not be able to make that one.

Marydoll - yes, it's very often lovely and sunny in N Berwick, but we're still on hols in Teesdale today where it's a bit more mixed.

We used to live just north of Portsmouth Lynnieg , but now live south of Lincoln. We came up for a job move 41 years ago meaning to stay for two!

Suki - I'm thinking of moving to Beckenham. SuzieD - my favourite eaterie at Crystal Palace is Lorenzos. Both areas are quite near me.

I've been thinking of moving to Beckenham for ages. We love Crystal Palace Park and take the dog there regularly. I also shop in Bromley practically every week.

Born in Staffordshire now in Perth

Wow! Aren't we a mixed bunch? Canada, NZ, Italy, Malta, Ireland, California. . . .
Et les femmes en France-je suis jealouse! Est-ce qu'on peut avoir une groupe bi-langue peut etre?
Now Staffs ladies-Pensionpat, Juliette, Cherrytree59 and Tallulah57-shall we arrange a meet up? I'm mid staffs, Juliette N Staffs so where would be central (and near a train station-or even better a bus route to use our free passes-lol!)?

Nandalot, if you`re south of Lincoln, you can`t be all that far from me in Boston?

GrandmaMoira and DanniRae yes, move to Beckenham , I can recommend it. West Wickham is good too. Beckenham Place Park is excellent for dog walking Danni and Kelsey Park is beautiful. It looks as if we three and Suzied frequent the same places, we probably pass each other in Crystal Palace or Bromley without realising.

I'm in East Sussex too Tippy

Teddington, south west London, would enjoy a meet up with other people, perhaps in central London?

Hi Suki - maybe we should all buy purple hats, or such like, and wear them when we are in the park or in Bromley. Isn't it a shame that they shut the cafe in the park - we used to enjoy sitting outside there for a cuppa. The new place doesn't seem the same?

South Downs between Worthing and Brighton.

Hi grannysyb - I used to live in Teddington before I was married. This would be 1964 (when I left school) to 1970. I lived on Kingston Road. I loved Teddington Lock and shopping in Kingston. Used to go to the tv studios and once, when waiting outside with a friend saw three of the Beatles walk across the foyer! Shame I can't remember which three because I was so excited!!

grannysyb I think that would be a good idea to meet in central London and then maybe those of us who live in NW London can meet up with those "foreigners" in South London?

Originally from Essex (Colchester, hi pittcity). Now in the NE, near to Durham City, via a spell in South Yorkshire.

Still have some affection for my home town despite the local council's determined efforts to ruin it over the years...

I originate from Middx/Surrey borders area now on edge of greater London - lived in Surrey for many years and then South Wales. Now in SW France - South of Bergerac and about three hours south of Christine in Limoges.
We have become country bumpkins with farmers crops etc around us.

I'm waving MaizieD....yes there is a lot of ruining going on here.
I have only been in Colchester for 14 years. Originally from Ilford and moved to north of the county via Brentwood. Essex born and bred though!

I live in The Loch Lomond and Trossachs National Park. It's sunshine & showers today.

Rascal, you are so lucky to be living there.

Rascal, a lovely place to live, but oh, those midgies at this time of year!

Thank you Marydoll and callgirl1. Yes very fortunate living in this beautiful place I do appreciate it all. The midges aren't so bad now. It's end of May onto June seems the worst time. Rain is another feature with being surrounded by mountains. But when the sun shines it makes up for it ałl.

rascal we were only saying today that we regret not buying a house near Callander not that we are unhappy were we are.

Rascal, we were at Loch Lomond, on a caravan site on the loch, it was July, and I was almost eaten alive by midges, the only bit of the holiday I didn`t like.

Yes Tizliz Callander is a nice place we visited it last year.
