Still no one from Kent, can't believe it. People say that northerners are friendlier. Looks like they are, as nobody from Kent except me wants to chat wink

Hi oxon70, i used to live a little to the north of Oxford. Also live in Dundee for four years. Small world. I've never been to Welwyn either!

GoldenGran Mon 20-Jun-11 19:57:37

I was born and grew up in Edinburgh, but now live in central London

Annobel Mon 20-Jun-11 19:50:32

I know the area, Oxon70. DS2's family are there. I worked in Dundee for two years in the '60s and now live in Cheshire. Never been to Welwyn though.

Oxon70 Mon 20-Jun-11 17:08:30

Thanks for the welcome, folks on the other thread.
I'm 15 miles south of Oxford, and 71 this year....
...but I was born in Cheshire and lived in Dundee for a long time. I went to primary school in Welwyn Garden City.
I do identify with my Scots ancestors, though I have Irish, Welsh and English too - in about equal proportions!

Hey 233 posts, we're growing!

PatW Sun 19-Jun-11 16:45:16

I have lived in Suffolk for 24 years and love it, now in Stowmarket. Great part of the country to live and bring up children. Daughter and family have just moved here from Huddersfield so very busy being grandma!

crimson let us know when your coming and we will put the kettle on or better still crack open a bottle wine

crimson Sun 19-Jun-11 10:51:40

I spend a few weeks 'oop north' each year and hope to spend more time if and when I ever get to retire!

glassortwo Sun 19-Jun-11 10:27:29

harrigran think there are a few more, possibly pinkprincess, GillyB, Graniee, isorod, Granieee, moomin, may be North East, just had a quick scan down the postings, hope I have not missed anyone.

harrigran Sat 18-Jun-11 23:29:35

mischief Sat 18-Jun-11 17:00:23

I'm a North Yorkshire 'Tyke' near the North Yorks Moors. Wonderful. Fab. Glorious. Marvelous. God's Country.

sylvia2036 Sat 18-Jun-11 09:58:25

Hi Annobel - sounds like the beginnings of one.

Annobel Fri 17-Jun-11 23:23:24

Me too, Sylvia2036, except I used to be married to a Yorkshireman and I live between Macclesfield and Stockport. Are we the East Cheshire Chapter of GN?

sylvia2036 Fri 17-Jun-11 17:43:25

I'm a Scot (parents Scottish and English), married to a Yorkshireman, living just outside Northwich, Cheshire therefore I guess I'm an adopted Northerner and very proud to be so.

DaisyD Fri 17-Jun-11 16:35:35

Gainsborough, Lincolnshire here - but originally a Derbyshire donkey grin

Exwirecutter Thu 16-Jun-11 16:25:26

I was born in Guernsey but evacuated to Greater Manchester during our last bit of unpleasantness with our now friends in Europe. Now a naturalized northerner .

Dilys Thu 16-Jun-11 16:12:59

From County Durham originally, moved around England and for the past 8 years I've been in the glorious Scottish Highlands!

Zephrine Thu 16-Jun-11 10:42:37

I'm a Londoner, but moved from Essex to Cheshire 3 years ago and I love it.

nanapug Wed 15-Jun-11 16:26:09

Ok, I am beginning to take it personally now!! Am I missing something or are all you Kentish maids or Maids of Kent holding out on me? Surely I can't be the only one on here...... wink
