Chatting at work today and it came to light that of the 5 of us, 3 still live in the same town as they were born in.

I moved a lot as a child and (having used a distance calculator) have worked out I live 445miles from where I was born.

This is the one I used if you're interested in working your's out. www.distancecalculator.net/

As a dc using the Metro was amazing.

1 mile from the hospital I was born in. About 100 metres from my childhood home. I couldn't imagine moving away.

DH was born at home about 1 mile away too.

The majority of both of our families live locally too.

Now, only about 110 miles away, but that's the nearest I've been in decades. For years, I lived several thousand miles away.
