I've seen a thread titled 'Where you from? started by @Emma23. The thread was done 7 years ago so if it's ok I thought I would start a new thread because people might have moved on etc.

My name's Gillian but call me Gill. I'm from North Yorkshire. I'm originally from Cheshire then moved in 1987 when I got married then moved to Altrincham then to Warrington then North Yorkshire.
Same as Emma's thread "I just thought it would be a nice way to get people chatting, never know there maybe peeps in you're area! Xxx"

Born and raised in Amsterdam, but I've been living happily in the countryside in Friesland for the past 9 years.
I share my house and garden with dogs, cats, lots of guinea pigs, bunnies, chickens and my neighbour's turkeys. :)

(Picture of my house last summer :))

I’m originally from Brereton near Rugeley in Staffordshire. Now living near Cheltenham following a number of various moves around the country.

I don’t know if I ever truly feel like I come from anywhere as such, but guess I’ve lived around here the longest in my adult life so as good as anywhere :)

I have lived where the work is, I was born in hospital, not on the banks of a creek. :p

I have lived in the Wide Bay area of Central Queensland for the last twenty years, so this, I suppose is home.

I’m from Harlem, USA. I was born and raised here and never moved outside of my town (NYC). I love to travel though! I have visited England (London) before & loved it. I have controlled diabetes and I feel that I can learn more by joining diabetes.co.uk.

I'm from Smolensk. It's a town close to Mosсow. I traveled only to my country, Ukraine (my relatives live there) and Belarus. If I survive this war and Iron Curtain don't descends I see the world
