Where in the world are you?

I’m a Brummie too. Great place, but sssh! we don’t want everyone coming here.

Wow! Thank you for all the replies. What a wonderful mixture of places we all come from? Annepl, I'm in Exeter, Devon. Originally from the Borough in London and over the years moved around all over South London finally ending up in Caterham in Surrey. Moved down to Devon 8 years ago and love it. Bustling city if that's what you want or 5 min drive to the countryside, 20 min drive to the seaside. So interesting to see how cosmopolitan we all are, but have so much in common. Lovely

Originally from Chester, but have been living in Malta for the past 38 years.

Sounds lovely @felice. Have a wonderful party. No chance of getting haggis here though perhaps for next year we can bring some in tins. ??

Sunny (sometimes) Sussex, originally Surrey, lived in Leicestershire, Buckinghamshire, then Mid Sussex for 50 years!

Canada, 2 hours from Toronto.

South Cumbria, beautiful views, walks, hills and mountains nearby. Love it.

The county very much in the news at the moment Sussex

No-one else on here from Exeter? Am I blazing a trail for Devon?

Exeter calling, well a few miles down the road actually! Originally from London, moved to Devon, then went abroad, back to London, now Devon again. There is another person on GN who moved to Teignmouth recently and was asking about meet ups.

I was living in London, where I was born and raised, when I joined Gransnet at its start. Then I moved to Darlington, the original home of my husband and where many of his family still live, for three years. Then I emigrated to New Zealand to be with my daughter and her family.

I live at the Top of the South [Island]. I love the Kiwi way of life – its warmth and friendliness, its relaxed attitude, its generosity to those in trouble – and I love beyond words my six grandchildren who are are routine part of my life.

California

Bluebell , I live half of my life in suffolk on the coast. Where are you?

South London - but would love to live by the sea!!

Born & bred Londoner but now lived more than half my life in South Bucks (via a decade near Glasgow, left a bit of my heart there). We are halfway between London and Oxford, I can access the Underground within a 15-minute drive and be in Central London in an hour, or in lovely countryside or by the river within 20-25 minutes. Gingster, I envy you the Suffolk coast!

Evie,64 I'm in Devon not far from you!

Hi Paignton Devon here, originally from Liverpool but love it here.
We have a good Gransnet meet up if anyone is looking for one.

India at the moment visiting relatives but going back to Ireland tomorrow.

Portugal although moving back after 12 years away.

Jealous of you Absent. Too old, they won’t have me but would love to be in NZ.

"Waving" to Rosecarmel! Not too many of us on here from the states. My parents were from the Midwest (Indiana & Minnesota). I live in California but was born in Minnesota. Three of four grandparents had Scottish surnames and the fourth's was Irish so, as we originally hail from GB, I'm "waving" across the Atlantic, as well.

East Midlands.
Originally from Wiltshire, then London.
Have lived in Singapore, Cyprus and Australia.

South Wales and love it

Lancashire - Pennines to the East, Lancashire and N. Wales Coast to the West. Easy reach of Manchester, Liverpool, Chester and other cities. Born in Northern Ireland, lived in Cumbria and North Wales before here. I have Irish, Scottish, English, Swedish, Finnish DNA plus a tiny percent of North and West African. No idea where that comes from!!! We are all citizens of the world!

West Midlands. I do love it here as plenty to do and live on outskirts of town in pretty large village.

Coventry.Both me and DH have lived here all of our lives.
