Sorry, em, but I'm in the North-East - the Scottish one, not the equally lovely one in England - and so I think I'm the furthest north so far.

harrigran Fri 20-May-11 22:22:19

Northerner moved south then north, west and east! Think I'll stick to "Squatter", but I now live in Greater Manchester.

Hello from sunny Suffolk, though I was born in Kent and moved around a bit with my ex. I've lived in Suffolk for a number of years and love it here. I've noticed a fair number from across the border in Norfolk, but no-one else from Suffolk. Am I alone? grin

Thanks,nanapippa but it would seem that your husband moved south, so that still leaves me as the northern outpost so far! When did he last enjoy that local delicacy - the Forfar bridie??

nanapippa Fri 20-May-11 15:19:27

em, my husband comes from Forfar originally smile Is that any good?!!!

BJN2 Fri 20-May-11 13:45:15

I'm in Brentwood in Essex. Yes! an Essex girl as was, now an Essex Nanny.
No more white high heels, now comfy white slippers!!

em Fri 20-May-11 11:03:29

Not many scots so far - here's another, and as far as I can see, the furthest north. I'm in Dundee. Like the idea of local contacts but at this rate I might be a bit lonely!

Grandmacool Fri 20-May-11 10:53:05

I live in Germany now. Moved here from Ireland in 1973.
LOL, I almost typed 1873.... I know this is gransnet but that would be pushing it. grin

dorsetpennt Fri 20-May-11 09:19:18

I have lived all over the world but for the past 25 years I've lived in the lovely town of Bournemouth. Ten minutes from the sea and 20 minutes from the New Forest

nanapippa Thu 19-May-11 21:51:04

Is there no one out there from Kent? I'm from West Malling. Great site, thoroughly enjoying it smile

gma Thu 19-May-11 21:03:45

Hi there smile I live within 5 miles of the Norfolk Broads. Beautiful part of the country especially if you have a boat (we do) Dad stayed here at the end of the war, originally from Lancashire (bolton) wine

littlemo Thu 19-May-11 20:53:49

Happy to meet everyone - I'm Scottish, live near Glasgow

bikergran Thu 19-May-11 16:37:20

bikergran is now looking at more profiles lol....so I guess I should sort mine out lol....[smile] (now then! wheres that airbrushed photo lol....

bikergran Thu 19-May-11 16:35:31

Mamanana didn't realise that when your name (or anyones is in blue) you can look at their profile...I have just had a peep at yours...very nice...nice to put a face to a name.[smile]

Mamanana Thu 19-May-11 13:12:00

my name on this post is in blue - that means you can click on it and see my profile - where I live [roughly] included. I'm hoping more Gransnetters will make their profile public too so we can develop some local friendships. I know its old fashioned to be geographical but then as Eartha Kitt said "I'm just an old fashioned girl" smile

heleena Thu 19-May-11 12:32:48

Please have a look at the new forum Where are you? Perhaps we can get some local group interest going in different parts of the country smile
