    A bit of a rambler, me!
    Born in Adelaide, South Australia. Came to England when 3 years old and lived in Highfield (university road) until 18. Then spent a year in Cardiff, moved to farnborough, Winchester, Plymouth, fareham, Denmead and horndean till 87, when I went to Stockholm for 5 years. After that, I was in Copenhagen, Prague, Warsaw, New York, Brussels, Johannesburg and Paris till I came back to winchester in 2013. Then moved to Romsey, where I am now, last year. Hoping I don’t have to move again <yikes>

    Born near Ilminster, somerset. Moved to Dundalk in Eire for 7 years, then back to Somerset, various places for the next 25 years. Gloucester for a couple of years and ended up just outside Devizes, Wiltshire since 2000. I only counted places where I actually registered with a doctor :emoticon-0100-smile
