Hi all. I am from Godmanchester 15 miles west of Cambridge (where I was born). I would love to hear from other Grans in this part of the world.

I grew up in Surrey, went to work in Madrid when I was 19, met an American there, married in Gibraltar, then lived in New Jersey for 12 years. We came to visit my sister and brother in law in Bath, fell in love with the place, and moved over here 30 years ago. It's a lovely place to live!

The South Cheshire area me.

Nelliemoser Sun 04-Nov-12 13:40:28

The south of the "old county" of Cheshire that is.
The government saw fit to divide it into two unitary authorities a few years back. Now its Cheshire East and Cheshire West and Chester.

whenim64 Sun 04-Nov-12 13:40:45

Hi PattieB there's a few of us north-west Gransnetters around the South Manchester/Cheshire area. We're planning a lunch and chat soon, at The Coach House, Trafford Centre. I'll find the thread and put it back up for anyone who might want to join us. smile

I`m still all on me own in Lincolnshire. Happy Trish joined from Coningsby earlier this year, then she disappeared sad

isthisallthereis Sun 04-Nov-12 20:25:45

I'm in the East Midlands. Born in Oxford, raised in B'ham so I guess I'm very much Midlands and happy here.

I enjoyed living in North London for 20 years but the place I really, really loved living and always enjoy revisiting is .... LIVERPOOL. Best place in the world, best people, and one of the most beautiful cities I've ever known. grin
