Hi Snowdrop
I was beginning to think I was the only one from Suffolk.
I'm another one who's not moved far. I used to say i was born just over the hill - nowadays I'm most certainly over the hill.
I'm between Hadleigh and Bury St Eds.
My grand-parents are buried at Kersey.

I live in Monroe, Ohio in the USA. It's just a bit north of Cincinnati if any of you have heard of that. I lived in Aldershot in Hampshire for a few years and absolutely loved it there!

Glammanana I often bring my GD to New Brighton for a walk along the beach and collect shells - she loves it, and sometimes as a treat on the way home we'll call into Nicholsons Icecream shop in Parkgate for one of their gorgeous cornets smile

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?
