Where are we all

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

Hi Ottosnan, welcome!

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!!

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.

Sounds like a plan glass, count me in

its does I hadn't noticed

Ohhhhhh yes please Glass That list reads like the line up from Trumpton or Camblewick Green !

GillyBob Rinky london GillyB Moomin Janea Harri and all the other North East GNetters (sorry if I have not named you but my memory is not too good and too many to names to remember) do you feel the need for another meeting coming on?

Glass is right the NE coast is wonderful. Especially Northumberland and the wondeful coastline. Gorgeous unspoilt beaches stretching for miles and miles. With fairytale castles in the distance.

glass A meet up with you would be lovely.
