A long way from the start - how far away from your birth town do you live ?

I have never left my hometown. I could stand on the roof of my house and see the other three houses I have lived in, if I had a telescope.

Didn't want to leave my mum, now don't want to leave my daughter and grandkids. Other daughter and grandchildren are 4,000 miles away.

360 miles - moved south from place of birth when I was 6 weeks old, then north again, then west!

Google maps tell me it’s 490 miles. Born in Woking, Surrey, have lived in sunny NI for 30 years.

100 miles

About 1300 km as the crow flies across the sea

22 miles. Born and raised in the South end of Liverpool, moved to Hoylake in Wirral and then to Ellesmere Port in Cheshire.

Now about 250 miles, but have lived in London, Taunton, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Nuremburg, Munich, Hong Kong, back to Manchester where I started, Lancaster and back to Edinburgh where I now will remain

Born in Weymouth, Dorset (Mums home town) and lived there till the age of 2. Moved to Preston, Lancashire (Dad’s home town) till the age of 9. Moved back to Weymouth cos Mum wasn’t happy and lived there till the age of 22 when my husband’s work meant we moved to Oxfordshire. Stayed there till we both retired when we moved back to Weymouth 3 years ago. We think we’re very lucky to live here again, it’s like being on permanent holiday now we can do what we like when we like. Only drawback is being so far from children and grandchildren who are in Oxfordshire and Cambridgeshire.

Sixty three miles - and in my heart, I am always a Londoner.

31.5 miles so just outside.

A few miles. But there have been other more distant places in between.

Well I started up north and I married a soldier so I definitely moved from my home town. I’ve lived overseas and around the country. When divorced I stayed in york but both my lads met women from different parts of country. My oldest met his in army so he’s also here and they. My youngest met someone up north lol. Since covid I’ve decided to move back up north and at present that’s what I’m looking to do.
