103 miles from the building which is no longer a hospital.

Currently about seven miles. But a third of my life it's been 3600, and until three years ago 80 miles. Happy to be back 'home'.

130 miles

About 30 miles.

Ten minute walk from my house to the hospital, which is also where my daughter was born, and my DP now works.
Don't think of myself as 'local' though!

Nearly all of the adults in my family live at least 50 miles from where they were born, and most are quite a bit further than that - and that’s been normal going back a few generations, so as an extended family we are pretty scattered - exceptions are one uncle and my SIL, who have always remained living within about 10 miles of their respective birthplaces.

Most of the under 18s in the extended family still live fairly close to their birthplaces (though I think nearly all have still moved house at least once); will be interesting to see how far they go eventually.

7 miles.

1 miles from my oldest's place of birth.

My youngest used to be 0 miles (born on my bedroom floor). Now further away.
