Hi I am recent GNer and mostly lived in South London though mother was from Darlington and I went to a school there when parents worked overseas. Father from Palestine but I've never been.

DH and I moved last July to Godalming Surrey to be near DD1 & 2 and the DCs. If anyone nearby looking for a coffee mate let me know!

Live in French speaking Switzerland, where I was born and bred. Lived in several locations in SW London and Surrey, then Staffs for a few years, and then 30+ years in East Leicestershire- where we still have a flat and visit often.

Hi matson I am in Newcastle so not too far from you. There are not too many Gransnetters from the North East, unless they are all lurking. grin

It's that stuff pouring through my French windows! It was a bit too hot today - 32C in Bourg en Bresse. It is cooler now I am back in the mountains.

whitewave; I must have missed your post.Delabole used to have the best fish and chip shop in the world until it changed hands. It also has one of [if not the] biggest quarries the world, hasn't it? Trebarwith Strand is one of my favourite places in the world. I used to live at St Tudy, but it was only for a couple of years between @1969/71. I worked at Tintagel and Boscastle for a while as well. Also Delabole had the first wind farm I ever saw. I've been longing to go back there for ages now; it's sort of calling to me. I have a friend who's just moved to Dartmouth which is kind of on the way [?]. It used to make me chuckle that no one from outside Cornwall used to know how to pronounce it.

I live in Oxford - too grey and miserable down the High Street to see the dreaming spires, though the Cowley Works and John Radcliffe Hospital are visible for miles

Kintyre is basking in bright, warm sunshine. Rory rolling around in the grass like a wee kitten [which he isn't] smile

matson Thu 12-Jul-12 19:08:23

I'm in a very wet Coventry .. so what does summer daylight saving add up to in the UK .. an extra day of rain!

nanaej Thu 12-Jul-12 19:47:55
