I've lived all over the UK, hundreds and hundreds of miles away from where I was born, but currently live about 45 miles away as the crow flies!

140 miles. One of the shorter distances so far.

I’m always really interested in those who have never moved from their home town or village. Do you ever wonder what it would be like somewhere else? Or does travel bring that to you?

Where I live (v rural) there are many gravestones with villager names going back centuries. And I imagine their ancestors potentially go back thousands of years, in the same place. Fascinating.

I haven't been back there for over 25 years and it feels like another world away to me.
