Interesting idea - for a lot of my adult life it was about 4500 miles, these days it is only 60, I came home!

About 3 maybe 5 meters during the day when I’m at work. 😁. A few miles when I’m at home.

Do you work at the same hospital you were born in? 😁

I’ve spent most of my adult life halfway around the world, but now I can actually see the hospital I was born in from my study window.

Delphigirl · 10/01/2025 10:28

My father in law was born and died in the same bed, in the same bedroom! 76 years apart.

About 30 miles for me.
150 for my kids (I moved away and had them there then years later we moved again)
My husband is 6700 ish away from where he was born.

TigerRag · 10/01/2025 10:32

About a mile but the hospital doesn't exist anymore

Printedword · 10/01/2025 10:36

Same town as we felt we needed to be near my family as they grew older. Later today I will be visiting their former neighbourhood to see friends. It does feel strange to be near the old house, where I was actually born but the memories are happy and the fact I'm friends with their neighbours who only knew them in later life is comforting.

29 miles.

It has just occurred to me that in all of my 58 years, I’ve only lived more than 50 miles away from my pob for a year.

It is very beautiful round these parts though.
