Where are we all

RINKY et al .I so agree about the beauties of Northumberland .We lived in Morpeth .First DD born there in 1959.
Last time I visited Bamburgh they were filming 'Beckett' Richard Burton and Liz Taylor were in the vicinity! I believe it was portrayed as the French coastline.

Just found GN site and am testing the waters.
Not sure if you are still participating, but was really surprised to see where you have previously lived.
We lived in south Harrow and know Wealdstone, Bushey, Watford, Berko, etc. very well. Daughter lives in St. Albans and we now live in Northamptonshire!!

you are asking where we all are..........im in milton keynes,,,lots of shops,,,and roundabouts,,,,ha ha

Hi I am a new Gransnet user and live in Hertfordshire, my spiritual home is North Uist, Outer Hebrides and my 'escape' is Skomer Island off the coast of Pembrokeshire where I do residential volunteer work.

Hi Ottosnan, welcome!

I am in Wakefield, New Zealand for the next six weeks, when I will be returning to my home in the French Alps.

Londoner and proud of it.

Best city in the country in my view. That saying "when you're tired of London you're tired of life" couldn't be truer.

The shard, O2, gherkin, St Pauls, Houses of Parliment, Buck House, museums for free, huge parks, shows galore, dinning ditto, street markets, the city, the West End.

Good bits, bad bits it's all there.

Hi I live just outside of Cardiff near an RAF base at St Athan. The back of beyond, lost my hubby last year and I dont drive, buses nearly non existent. At 70 I still walk for miles, case of having to.

I can almost see you across the Bristol Channel, but alas to far. I'm in Portishead.

Good job we are all different - I lived and worked in central London for eight years and hated it - the noise, traffic, crowds, buildings......as soon as I retired I moved to remote mountain village in France.

I am in mid-Cheshire. Is there anyone else?!

Hello all, I am in Inverness in the north of Scotland. Born in Maghull Liverpool, moved to Hampshire (love it) moved to Bower Hinton near Martock in Somerset, moved again to Cardiff S.Wales. moved to work in London. Moved to work in Ayrshire in South west Scotland. Married a Scotsman. Moved to Inverness in the North. 37 years ago. Love my UK. All of it. Been a gransnetter for over a year now. Love it.

I think there are too many grans in Scotland. We need more in the SW!

akuaku, there are several of us in Cheshire. I'm in NE Cheshire but there are others further south and in the Chester area too. We have meet-ups every so often and I will put you on the list so that I can contact you by pm when one is being planned.

oldgirlfriday-Welcome. We lived in Watford 1967- 81. two DDs went to Watford Grammar school DS to Nascot Wood and Haberdashers.Did you know any of those?
been in Bristol area since 1988 and would be reluctant to move.

ottosnan Welcome.
I so envy you working on Skomer.I love Pembrokeshire -was there for a week at St Bride's end of Oct. Didn't go on the island this time- but have done so in the past

Maniac - I know the Watford area very well and the various schools you mentioned. My daughter lives in St. Albans which is also a lovely area.

Hiya, I'm new to GN. I'm from Leeds, moved to Hertfordshire for 20 years, a year in Essex and now I'm in Cambridgeshire.

Minder good morning and welcome to GNet, I hope you enjoy the conversations/ chats/ debates but most of all the enormous amount of support in times of need.

I've now got a mental image of Dennis Waterman

Thank you baubles - mental picture of Christmas lol.

Funny you should say that, my husband was always told he looked like Dennis Waterman... He's a Cockney too.

At this moment in time it's wonderful to have somewhere to chat and get support. such a lot going on.....

Minder is because I'm a childminder.

Hello Minder!

Hi Minder - welcome and please join in.

Just reading back through this thread and would like to ask ottosnan why she said her spiritual home is N.Uist. I visited when doing some family history and fell in love with it and also with Barra where I have connections too. I discovered a distant relative in Benbecula. Truly I thought I had discovered a bit of heaven. Do any other Gransnetters come from the Outer Hebrides?

Hi numberplease and kittylester. Thank you for the welcome.

I'm having major problems at the moment, having to dash back and forth to Yorkshire as my Auntie is in hospital but as soon as I get some 'me time' I will join in.

Minder.
