Just being nosey.

We live pretty much equidistant between two.
Today, we went into Cambridge.

Which is the closest city to you?

Me also. The last time we ventured down the M27 to Portsmouth was in October to catch a cross-channel ferry.

The one I live in, Aberdeen! 😊

Nottingham (actually live in the city)

Previously lived in the gap between Leicester, Coventry, Derby and Birmingham, all equally inconvenient.

I live in central London and have done all my life.

London, though my other home's nearest city is equidistant between Valencia and Alicante.

Sendai

I didn't realise you had to (or could) get a ferry to Gunwharf, we just drove there last time we went.

Sounds like where a friend's parents live!

@ChimChimeny @Beezknees I am also in the middle of Nottingham and Derby, I wonder if we all live in the same place 🤣

I'm in Ilkeston! Although I'm wanting to move up to Chesterfield in a couple of years as it's a little bit cheaper.

Waterford

Colchester.

But we often go to Cambridge or London for shopping/culture which are easy from here.

Ah that make sense, a friend's mum lives in Gosport and when DH and I did the Great South Run, she got the ferry over to meet us :)
