Hi Hayley,
just back home in Arendal after a family visit in Stavanger; Most of my life I've lived outside of the UK which technically is my place of birth. Even then never lived more than a year or two there either.
Sørlandet, and Mayo or Poznan are home for me.
And most of the time it isn't English that is the mother tongue of my family.

At about two years we left this part of Derbyshire, and went to live on an island off the West coast of Scotland, about 60 years ago. Stayed there until I was just over eight years. Dad then realised he could not get sufficient employment to sustain a family of five, after coming out of the Royal Navy. We came back to our home turf
Since marriage,I have lived further up county in Debyshire, short spell in Nottinghamshire, and down in Oxfordshire, before coming back to the same place again.
My ideal would be the same as its only me

Afternoon, I was born in St Pancras, moved to...and I'll try to get it in the right order...Old Coulsdon Surrey, then Purley Surrey. Then, Fulham, then Glasgow, back down south to Kenley Surrey, then Caterham Surrey, then off to Chiswick, then Glasgow again, down to Kenley again, back to Old Coulsdon, then up to Norfolk. That was up to the age of about twelve...parents kept splitting up and lived with my Dad most of the time and my lovely old Nan. This is the longest time that I've lived in anyone county...and think I will stay, it's so nice and peaceful. think I need a rest, I was like a little 'nomad'! Think that it's character forming though, as you do see life!!!!
