Couldn't find anywhere to specifically say 'hallo' (I feel sure there is somewhere, just haven't spotted it) so I thought I would answer this thread. I am a newbie and come from sunny (!) North Somerset.

sussexpoet Mon 11-Jul-11 13:15:01

As you may have deduced, I'm in West Sussex - born within the sound of Bow Bells, so a genuine Cockney, lived in Staffordshire as a small child, then in London right up until 8 years ago when I decided it was time to leave the Smoke and breathe some clean air. Loving it!

Greenmossgiel, thanks for noticing, I have not got a lot of t ime at the moment, in a show that is on in the next few weeks so lots of rehersals etc.

Born in London, was in California for 21 years, where I have my Granddaughter, and now live in the Midlands! Will probably move back to California to be closer to my Granddaughter!

Slightly off topic just to say that we love Boscastle, went back a couple of years ago for the first time since the year of the terrible floods, it`s wonderful, and a great testament to the courage of the people of Boscastle, to see how they`ve rallied and got the village back on it`s feet again. Apart from a couple of things, you`d never know any difference.

I'm in Derby now. I lived at St Tudy, then did season work at Boscastle [Mrs Pipers Cream Tea Cafe by the harbour, then Terry Dangers fish and chip shop in Tintagel. I can close my eyes and be in Boscastle, especially doing the walk from The Cobweb car park up the Valency Valley to Minster Church. Haven't been back for a few years. Do they still do 'the broomstick dance' in The Cobweb?

bunic Sun 10-Jul-11 12:08:31

crimson Sun 10-Jul-11 10:43:28

Helmar; I think it must be lovely to still live where you were 'brung up' [see, I'm a Brummie too!]. I love going back to Birmingham; such nice people, with a rather dark sense of humour.

hellypelly, that was one of DD2's favourite books! I made her a patchwork quilt out of old clothes as she was growing up — gave it to her on her eighteenth birthday — and the backing fabric is one she chose in Norway because it reminded her of Green Ginger.

I come from and live in The Land of Green Ginger. wink
