Hi All. I'm originally from Surrey but now living in Malmö, Sweden. Got here via Kent, Ayrshire, North Yorkshire and Moray. Joan, I miss the Dales too. Of all my ports of call along the way, Yorkshire is the one in my heart.

bikergran I love your name, I think its fantastic, my Aunt drove a scooter in the 70's when she was 50, she was an inspiration to me.

I'm another Sue,
I'm from Wigan originally but lived in Scottish Borders for 34 yrs.
We live right out in the Berwickshire countryside with fabulous views across to the Cheviots. I love the peace and quiet and usually the only sound is birds chirping & tractors working somewhere in the fields....until our 2 Yorkies start barking !!!!!!
I would love to live somewhere with a sea view ...preferably on The Isle of Man (where my husbands family were from).

Originally from Manchester I've lived all over the UK and abroad, but now I'm living in a delightful old fashioned seaside town in Devon; surrounded by hills, with a river just 30 seconds from my front door. I have no plans to move from here any time soon. wink

Hi everyone... born in Buenos Aires, escaped as a family as lots of trouble there, I was 6 when we arrived here, lived in Kent for years, relocated to Cornwall, now at the seaside on the East Kent coast and love it...

Dordor Mon 16-May-11 19:38:45

Oh Suuze and grannies, I confess that I have only moved a mile from where I grew up - but I've lived in 4 different houses in the village (!), which is East of Norwich in Norfolk. No one has ever asked me to go anywhere else you see, and all my family is nearby so I'm quite happy really. And there are so many places to visit. Off to Edinburgh for the Fringe mid-August. Wonder if any other gransnetters will be there . . .
