Hi, don't post very often( husband, 5 children, 5 grandchildren, a mother, voluntary work, 2 cats and (very) part time work for husband sometimes get in the way!) but there don't seem to be many people from the boring middle of the country. I was born in Derby, moved to north Wales, back to Derbyshire, Leicestershire, married and moved to Coventry, Shrewsbury, Melton Mowbray, Melbourne (Australia), back to Leicestershire. We have spent the last 32 years in and around Loughborough and love it!! We are lucky enough that most of our family are within easy reach and we have lots of friends and acquaintances around.

I'm in Sintra, Portugal. I'm originally from London but have been here for 20 years. I still miss London! sad

Nice to meet you Grandiose welcome to the mad house, you will soon realise we are all as mad as a box of frogs smile

Baggy Thu 08-Sept-11 14:06:43

And some of us are as mad as a plate of frogs. Hello, grandi, and welcome. smile

Grandiose Thu 08-Sept-11 18:31:13

Thanks for the welcome to the mad house. Suits me fine. Now I'll just frog off for a while smile

Hello Grandiose, how lucky you are to live where you do! Welcome to the House of Fun!! smile

Have only seen one other person from Bedfordshire. Didn't realise how wide spread this great site is. Any one else from around mid beds?

Grumpygrandma Tue 27-Sept-11 09:59:51

Hello all, I'm new here - are you friendly? I'm from Sussex, anyone else from Sussex-by-the-Sea? Looking forward to sharing my thoughts. First - why is there no space for adding great grandchildren? See you.

Gally Tue 27-Sept-11 10:16:26

Welcome Grumpygrandma On the whole I think you'll find us a friendly lot! smile. I originate from Sussex but have been far away for over 30 years but still visit the Lewes area frequently..

NannaAnna Tue 27-Sept-11 11:39:06

Hi Grumpygrandma I live in sunny Sussex-by-the-sea too smile
Hove to be precise - although I am flat-hunting and probably moving to Worthing. (Cost of property basically) I grew up in Brighton, have lived in Horsham/Hurstpierpoint/Burgess Hill/Hassocks/Haywards Heath - as well as numerous places elsewhere in the UK (as far up North as Northamptonshire!!) and overseas. Nowhere beats Sussex-by-the-sea grin

Ariadne Tue 27-Sept-11 16:50:43

Born in Nottingham, but moved before I was 20. Have lived in Dover, Lee on Solent, Rosyth, Reading, Limavady, Woolwich, Folkestone and finally Kent, where we've been for the last 25 years. Now planning to move down to Devon to be a bit nearer the children and their children....Looking forward to that.

I'm a scottish girl. Aren't there any more of us?

glassortwo Fri 30-Sept-11 23:26:37

em Fri 30-Sept-11 23:38:33

Sixties - there are quite a few of us - where are you?

sixtiesgirl Fri 30-Sept-11 23:55:53

South Lanarkshire, although, in my head, I'm at Cliff's house in Barbados.

Baggy Sat 01-Oct-11 08:09:04

I'll be chuffing over from Argyll to Edinburgh later today to see DD2.

Annobel Sat 01-Oct-11 08:38:32

Another one here sixties, though living in Cheshire. Just now watching the rugby and its hard to type with fingers crossed.

glassortwo Sat 01-Oct-11 08:55:36

sixties should have said North of Border, sorry I must have been asleep.

Bennan Fri 07-Oct-11 16:02:41

Born in Aberdeen, brought up in Dundee, taught in Edinburgh where met English husband, moved to Aylesbury, then overseas to Bahrain, Hong Kong, Oman and then Dubai. Returned to Uk and now live near Buckingham in North Bucks, rural, quiet and endlessly delightful. smile

em Fri 07-Oct-11 21:38:31

Clicked on to yours right away Bennan to find out what the Scottish connection must be! I've been really surprised at the numbers of grans on here who have a connection with Dundee. Are you willing to disclose more?

akuaku Fri 07-Oct-11 23:27:42
