I am a Londoner, but have moved around a bit over the years and finally settled, happily, in the West Country... but took me a few moves to get here. My Nan's address book is pretty full and tells a bit of a tale.

London to Paris to London to Bristol to London to Bath to Bristol to Cornwall and finally Devon.

How did you get where you are?

From the age of 20 to 31 I had over 15 different addresses, I moved around a lot. Wither that was for work, the 6 month lease on a private let was up and I fancied a changed, or I just got bored and moved on.

Moved back to my hometown at 31, moved around about the same area a couple times.

Moved into my shoebox just over a year ago, which is only 3 miles from my hometown, and plan to stay.

It's funny, I still call London home, but would never move back. I have family and friends there still.. but I do feel out of place when I return. Most of the area I lived has been rebuilt, old landmarks have gone and my memories of places are now just that!

Hull

As a child, following my father's job, I lived in 7 different towns and cities across th UK, before I reached the age of 18.

Then I left home, and went into Hotel Management, where my "nomadic" living style continued! From 1973 to present day, I've lived in 32 different addresses. I move to my 33rd in two weeks.
