Hello notsogrand , lovely to meet you --- I feel better now . Sorry to be so long in replying but I have a house full of visitors this week , and so very little time to call my own . Never mind I love them all Off on hols next week so will have time to take a breath then . Loving gransnet , I feel I have made many new friends.It's good not to be alone in Hampshire !!!.

We go to Bamburgh late summer/early autumn, and never run out of places to go. Had a scare last year because they were planning to ban dogs from the beach, but, thankfully they changed their mind, as it's a superb dog walking beach.

Hello

I have just joined and am enjoying reading some of the comments.

I now live in Suffolk, before that just over the border in Essex, but originally came from nearer London, so have moved steadily eastwards over the years.

It is great being near to so many lovely places in this county including the coast - I love the sea.

Hello from Boston, Lincolnshire, not Massachusetts! I was born in S.Yorkshire, near Barnsley, moved to a village near Rochdale in Lancashire aged 13, then into Heywood 2 years after getting married, but then we came over to this side of the country in 1977, will probably die here!!
GillieB, I went for an evening`s gliding at an airfield in Alford, Lincs, about 20 years ago, loved it, but couldn`t afford to go again, I had two flights, it`s a fantastic feeling.
We also love Northumberland, especially the area around Seahouses and Bamburgh, and the lovely Farne Islands, but we haven`t been for a few years now. Until our first visit, I always thought it was a dark, dirty industrial area, boy, was I surprised, it`s beautiful!

Currently in south- west France - normally in North Shropshire/Staffordshire border.........like bluegrass - love Gransnet......

riclorian...I'm in Hampshire...don't be lonely!

Of course, how are things in Tipp? Wishg we had warmer weather, I'm on the West coast. Love this Gransnet.

Hi I'm in Ireland ex UK

I was born in the famous boot and shoe making town of Northampton. Now live looking over the sea towards the outer Hebridean islands of Isla and Jura...with Mull to the west, and Gigha to the east. Paul Mac and Linda had a farm not too many miles away, just outside Campbeltown. A very special place...

Isorod we are in Newcastle at the moment, but are renovating in East Woodburn. I worked in hexham a few years ago.

Thank you, are you in this area?

I was born in Wigan , I now live near Preston.

yes it is Sprinkles you lucky, lucky, lucky person. No need to apologise. It was the first designated area of natural beauty and consequently unspoilt. I was born there, when Stouthall was a maternity unit and grew up in Swansea.

I'm in Gower, near Swansea Wales. I still think it's one of the most beautiful parts of the country)

I am getting more and more lonely ---- I can't believe I am the only Hampshire Hog !!!!!

Ah, Em, that gives me almost ten years on you. I graduated in 1962. I don't think there were any radical activities at St A in my day, though there was something called the New Left which was more of a talking shop than anything active.

Hello Greenmossgiel - I'm in Fife - on the coast west of Kirkcaldy!

Annobel - nice to know that. I was beginning to think we had some views in common so that's even more of a link.I was at St A in the late 60's and unlike some grans who have contributed to other threads didn't take part in any radical student activities at sleepy St A!!

Please stop you are making me homesick.

I'm from the Wirral, moved to Nantwich Cheshire 25 years ago.

Em. I went to St A as well and started my teaching life in Dundee. Dad was born in Newport-on-Tay.

I live in Southern Spain, Marbella, Moved here with my family when I was 12 and came back 35 years ago.

Hello Greenmossgiel - not far away - just over the Tay in Dundee. Went to uni in St Andrews and have connections with the East Neuk.

I live in Fife. Born in small village in Nottinghamshire then came up here when I was 10! Up and down a few times over the years - lived in London for a time, then back up here again to settle in small village near Kirkcaldy (where lino was, and still is made, though on a smaller scale). Am I the only one in Fife?
