LOL!!! You...came to coastal New England in search of a warm climate, huh? Hmmm... maybe a refresher in Basic Semantics? Or mayhap Physics 101. That's kind of like moving to New York to find clean streets and friendly people, if you don't mind my saying so!! :>D

Even here in San Diego I find myself once a year cursing the cold snap and vowing to move to Southern California.

Just noticed I've never posted to this thread, hmmm . . .

Sitting surrounded by technology in a decidedly low tech owner-built (and still unfinished, sigh) post-and-beam house (a kit) in the middle of the woods (33 acres) on the side of a hill at the end of a 200 foot driveway which goes uphill to meet the road on the hill, here in southern New Hampshire, USA about equidistant between the seacoast (Portsmouth) and mountains (Concord to the west, Conway to the north).

I came here (meaning coastal New England) about 35 years ago to come to a warm climate -- from Wisconsin's (and Upper Michigan) Lake Michigan shore (and Great Lakes weather).

Where would I like to be? Singing with friends and swigging stout in a pub in England/Wales/Scotland or climbing over ruins on Crete or maybe snorkling in some warm blue-green water.

But, quite honestly, I very happy here at home. (Or in a Portsmouth pub, swigging stout and singing with friends.)

Well I was born and live in Tamworth (former capital of Mercia) currently in Staffordshire(UK), but was in Warwickshire 40 years ago - we must have moved! I live 6 miles from a pub called the '4 counties', because it sat at the corners of Warks, Leics, Derbys and Staffs.

However to thicken the plot, I have a Birmingham post code, we're considered to be in the West Midlands, and I live 12 miles from Meridan (considered to be dead centre of England - well it is by those that live there)

This thread is amazing for it's global appeal, but what happened between Sept 00 and Sept 04 ?????????

Hey Wusie! We're almost neighbours. I started out in Gosport, Hampshire, England (where Sledge posts from), came to Australia in 1962 and lived in the Yarra Valley in Victoria for forty years, then a couple of years ago I moved to South Australia. I'm currently at work at Christies Beach and shortly go home to a caravan up on the ridge at Yundi where I'm trying to build something to live in. In the meantime, the rest of thye family are house sitting for friends in... yes... Aldinga. I was working in Mt Barker the weekend of the festival so I missed it but I plan to get there sometime soon. I like the Singing Gallery at McLaren Vale as well.

Well, if we're doing where we HAVE lived:
California, Georga (U.S. one), Massachusetts (however you spell that), southern Germany, Kansas City (the big one, in MO, not the stockyards in KS), Arizona, Utah, various points in Korea ("we're on our way in the ROK!") and California again.

Where would I like to be? I'm good here in the SF Bay Area, but really, you move around a lot and you come to realize that its the people, not the place that makes the living worthwile. (Hi, Chantyranger & Melani!)

I thought I posted this yesterday, but I don't see it. Maybe I typed it and forgot to click "submit." Anyway, I was born (1930) and raised in Milton, Wisconsin and have lived in California (Modesto, Fresno, Gridley, Grass Valley), Oregon (Hood River area), New Mexico (El Rito), British Columbia (White Rock, Kamloops), Utah (Torrey) and since 1989 here in Arizona in Cottonwood - about 100 mi. north of Phoenix and 50 mi. south of Flagstaff. Just about in the center of the state.

I've been a farm and factory worker, social worker, college and university instructor, National and State Park Ranger, and many other jobs, mostly part time. I'm retired now, but am starting up a home based job as an Independent Travel Agent. I like to read travel, camp, do photography, have been a stage actor and director and performed with The Reivers singing Irish and Scottish songs and ballads. I enjoy listening to that kind of music as often as possible, pursue interests in history, geography and geology.

Im in Shropshire, UK. Great music scene in the county.

Seaking.. as in helicopter? Or perhaps oil rig? Sounds a bit scary all the high tech.

Been on the ferry to Ireland and back this summer. Glad they have stabilisers.

I love Shropshire, but I love Ireland too and would love to just travel around as many sessions as possible.
