I was born in Worcester and like Denbylover came out to NZ in 1959 aged 11. I wonder if we were on the same ship! I'm proud to be a kiwi but theres something about England.

Melbourne ,which is huge, so take your pick which suburb. I agree, you have to be a bit careful these days.

My daughter and family live in Richmond. We were there at the start of our first lockdown but goodness knows when we’ll see them again. ?
I’m in West Yorkshire.

My daughter’s mil has lived in Richmond for many years. When we open up again we will go to see her. We are further out than that. My mum came from Leeds and I still have cousins round York. At least they are getting the vaccines here now so it won’t be too long before you can come over.

Born in Surrey, brought up in West London, moved to sunny Northern Ireland 30 years ago and absolutely love it. Even though I’m still classed as a ‘blow-in’ I call this ‘home’.

France, in the SW where we moved nearly 30 years ago .... but still a Brummie! Planning our first UK trip in nearly 2 years next week ... unless Boris moves the goalposts ... can’t wait to see the family, starting with my 100-year old Mum. Fingers crossed!

I live in a city alongside the city of Manchester. It is NOT a suburb of Manchester, nor is it part of Manchester, though we are in the county of Greater Manchester, having been dragged kicking and screaming out of Lancashire some years ago. My home city is actually older than Manchester.

Denmark, in a small town near the German border.

What concerns me and others who like me are not inclined to name the place is that this is a public forum where we all use pseudonyms so we cannot so easily be placed, so telling you the name of a town with under 5000 inhabitants would rather tend to cancel my anonymity.

Anyone could give me their full address, and by the end of the day I would not only have forgotten where they live, but also the person who told me. All your secrets are safe with me grin

I live in Bedfordshire and have done so for 28 years
