Headed to Seattle for college and lived in 4 places there. Then to near Sacramento, California and 2 different residences. Then Los Angeles and 3 places. On to San Diego and back to Los Angeles with 2 homes there. Headed to Atlanta for 20 years and then back to coastal S Cal. We are contemplating another move within California once the pandemic is done. Hopefully I am done crossing the country though.Juhlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14440147890620303894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-83257002287408297722021-01-09T23:41:38.178+00:002021-01-09T23:41:38.178+00:001951-1966 Wythenshaw, Blackley, Blackley, Higher B...1951-1966 Wythenshaw, Blackley, Blackley, Higher Blackley all in Manchester UK<br />1966-1970 6 different places-with parents, and then 5 different apartments Calgary, Alberta, Canada.<br />1970-1972 Flat in Belfat N.

London ...Cornwall near Fowey for the first 19 years<br />London from 1985 - 1997<br />Suffolk (Knodishall) 1997 - 2003<br />Australia 2003 -2005<br />Suffolk - Saxmundham then Beccles 2005 - 2007<br />Australia 2007 - 2008<br />Suffolk - Woodbridge 2008 - 2009<br />Scotland - Kirkcudbright - 2009 - 2016<br />Torbay 2016 - 2020<br />Cornwall - 2020 forever?<br />So a long roundabout way of meandering back to my Cornish roots. Never intended to be back here, it just happened that this is where the home we fell in love with is. <br />I loved Suffolk when I lived there, especially the first time. Saxmundham was so gorgeously sleepy and old-fashioned. Still had two proper hardware stores and it's own department store. Now it's grown too much and is full of the sort of stores that second home owners love. Some would call it progress...<br />Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07084671596939736666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-70313165937088736362021-01-09T04:57:40.596+00:002021-01-09T04:57:40.596+00:001949-1968 First and second ring suburbs of Minneap...1949-1968 First and second ring suburbs of Minneapolis Minnesota<br />1968 for ten weeks in southern Maryland then back to Minnesota for three months<br />March 1969-Novemebr 1971 Bermuda<br />1971-2021 back to first and second ring suburbs of Minneapolis.

As husband was in the Air Force (he was stationed in England) we then moved (stayed) in about 12 different places in about four years. Yuck. We've now been in the same house almost 25 years. One more (hopefully) move in the future and we will be done. Those 12 different places were tiring - we moved from temporary houses, to rentals, to base housing, staying with family. We stayed in Woodbridge, Shotley, Ipswich in England then over to the US where we stayed in Portage (Michigan), Clovis (New Mexico), Kalamazoo (Michigan) all in several different places. Phew.

Favourite place out of all those, by far, was London. However, there's more to life than where you live. After all those moves, I found myself staying here for 28 years. I've come to appreciate that there is something to be said for living in one place.

That definitely qualifies you to be a Suffolk girl, born and bred!<br />As I was growing up my parents moved every two or three years so I've lived in many different places. I've lived in 17 different homes, 14 different cities and 6 different states here in the U.S. A few of those moves were after I left my parents home. I have lived where I am now since 1976 and I hope to never move again.

When my DH retires, we've already bought land in another state that we'll be putting a modest home on. I've lived in everything from apartments or town houses to new builds and old homes. Once, a 140 yr. old Victorian. A few times in urban areas, but mostly suburbs, small towns and rural. Next stop is the high country of the Southwest.

Husband in RAF so moved 4 months after marriage to Singapore for 2 1/2 years. Next posting was Norfolk (which I loved) for 2 years. Last posting was to Leuchars in Fife for 2 years. Then I moved back to Carlisle for 2 years while husband worked in Saudi Arabia. Our next move was forced by my husbands work, back to Dumfries where we have lived in the same house since 1979.
