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

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

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!

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

em Fri 20-May-11 16:02:54

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??

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

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

Wheniwasyourage Sat 21-May-11 15:19:31

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.

bikergran Sat 21-May-11 18:34:04

Looks as if rosiesposies is furthest north. You are no doubt enjoying even longer lighter evenings than we are. Just love May/June in the north.
