I live about 16 miles south of Darlington in Northallerton. I worked in Darlington for about 5 years. Born in York, and lived in Newport, South Wales for about 7 years when I was a lot younger. Now I travel around the country so much that I sometimes forget where I live ;)

But I'm British to my core :) And a northerner forever :)

Ambleside is so beautiful, I went there for a week and stayed in a YMCA with the school in my early teens and have never forgotten how beautiful it was...

As for being British to the core, that's me too :) And proud of it... and it's well known over here amoungst my American counterparts :devil:

I live just outside Folkestone in Kent - now known as Earthquake country!

Earthquake central! How are things in Folkestone?

I always used to say one of reasons I am happy staying in the UK is we don't have the natural disasters and bad weather that they everywhere else. I guess I will shut up about that now.

Serena A 04-30-2007 07:05 AM

Folkestone's ok thanks - just the odd chimney pot damaged really, it was more the "what the heck's going on?" of it all. I know what you mean about the UK being not too bad on the natural disasters front - I've always liked it that we don't have killer spiders and snakes and stuff! Now that I couldn't handle!

Sarah Ann 04-30-2007 07:28 AM

Oh.... we have snakes alright. I live right close to some moorland here in Yorkshire and we get lots of adders - the UK's only poisonous snake. They mostly hang around on the Moor but just occasionally in the middle of summer we get the odd one or two in the garden which is why we've replaced our old fence (which got blown away) with a proper wall this time.

I am always on the lookout for adders doing their 'dance' in the new forest but haven't seen any. Mum has a grass snake in her garden though!

Sarah Ann 04-30-2007 09:12 AM

I've never seen them doing the dance :( - they just seem to like sunbathing and then slither away when you aren't looking. A couple of years ago George picked a live one up - you could probably hear my shrieks in London!

I've not seen a real snake since I was a kid, but I've been shovelling compost this morning and I wish my kids wouldn't somehow leave their very realistic looking toy rubber snake in the middle of the compost. Nearly peed myself.

clairec 06-10-2007 03:07 PM

I'm in southampton

mary27 06-10-2007 08:36 PM

Hi everyone,
I live in the North West Highlands of Scotland - we get adders in the hills up here too - yet another good reason not to take up hill walking!

Lincolnshire yellow belly here born and bred. To be more precise I come from Grantham in Lincolnshire. Been living in Nottinghamshire since my late teens when work brought me here. But I now live in Nottingham in one of the suburbs.
