Got itchy feet 2004 and moved to Charente in France for 5 years before returning to the same village near Kendal where we lived before, Too old to consider moving any more very happy where we are.

 

Born in the same room in the same house as mum in 1957. God forbid it was the same bed. 19 Cleft Street, backing on to the old Hetton Colliery Railway. Cobbled street, outside toliet, the lot. Posh, you see. Street was knocked down long ago which is kind of sad. Close to Glebe Hotel, which I think is now the Royalty, where grandad spent more time than he should. Mum and dad met at Bede Grammar. Dad had a season ticket and died from heart attack leaving the SoL one cold January afternoon nearly 20 years ago now. They'd just beaten one the Sheffields - forget which. As an adult I've bounced around a fair bit due to work but always away from Sunderland. This forum is my link to my roots and you don't know how important that is. Now I split my time between Suffolk and Naples, Florida, but wanting to get back to the UK full-time very soon.
