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/

679 miles but only because I was an Army brat. Now live in the city my mum is from where my parents met and married. After all the upheaval of my childhood this is the closet thing to home.

108miles. Very few of my school friends left our home town, I feel glad to have escaped.

Weirdly I'm only a few miles away from where my Mum and Grandma were born though.

0.29 miles 😂 I love the area I'm in. I would only leave if there was a lottery win.
Funnily enough a lot of people stay in the area and even have parents, grandparents a 5 minute walk away. I know of 6 families that have parents/children in the area.

I say area it's about a mile square. It's just such a nice place, friendly and very affordable.

I’m 5 miles from the hospital I was born in, but just 2 miles from the street I grew up in.

DH has only moved around the corner.
