I'm From Greenwich ,London and Its a lovely little place :)

[Dan]

Hi Paul - yes I'm still around. I've just been finishing up on my new novel which is due out in the spring, so I've not been doing much else. I could lie and say I've read 'Ravens' and loved it, but I haven't read it yet. It's on my 'to read' shelf, along with James Lee Burke, Louis de Bernieres and Cormac McCarthy, though, so you're in good company! I'll let you know how I get on with it.

[Timothy]

Hi Dan,
I'll keep an eye open for your new one. We won't be head to head at the next Brit Writers 'do'.
My publisher talked me into doing a gardening book, 'Beyond the Potting Shed' is a grow your own book aimed at saving money, rather than spending twice what it would cost to have bought the veg from a supermarket. Judging from the reviews in garden news and the likes I have for once got it right.
Time will tell. Next time we might get the chance to share a bevvey or two. Good luck with the new book.
Catch you latter.
All the best Paul Rix [oldgeezer]

Gamlingay is just a couple of miles from me, just a bike ride (but only in nice weather) - take care

I was in lovely York a few weeks ago - it was freezing! I had pear and pea soup from Bettys - yummy.

Wow, fab! When I was small my Mum worked part time at the weekends and rather that give up his Saturday football my Dad got season tickets for my younger brother and I so we could go along with him. I used to love going even though I had no idea what was happening. It was the atmosphere and the singing and of course the Bovril that made it for me I think. Good times.

[Loraine]

I am from Ashford in Kent

Wow, f..."

Based on your photo Gem......probably a bit before your time, but I was lucky enough to be going when Cyrille Regis et al were in their pomp in the late 70's. Never ever tried Bovril - sounds yuk!!

My husband called his guinea pig "Cyrille" after that guy 0(we are talking a good 20 plus years ago!) He was a big hero of his when he played at Coventry City!

[[deleted user]]

Hi all - I'm from Walsall, not far from West Brom, though being a Villa fan I try to avoid the area if poss. lol

My hero was from Lichfield just up the road - lovely City.

Stuart - I lived in Norwich for almost 4 years and it's bootiful ! Ha ha

[Anne]

Hello I live in beautiful Dorset in a coastal town

[Angela]

I live in Luton, Bedfordshire, and have done so for the past 39 and a half years! We're lucky to live fairly near to the northern outskirts, so countryside is still very close. Originally, I came from London - born and brought up a stone's throw away from Portobello Road!

[Ian, Moderator]

Coventry, Walsall & Villa Park - all happy memories of my time at Leicester Uni and going to as many Liverpool games as my grant (now those were the days!) would allow

[Timothy]

Hi,
There's nothing wrong with Norfolk, I've been all over the U.K. as a driver and round the world as a soldier! Always glad to get back to 'home' in west Norfolk, just off the edge of the fens, right on the margins of 'breckland'
BTW I remember the late Bernard Matthews when he sold dodgey 2nd hand cars!!
All the best Paul Rix [oldgeezer]

[Angela]

I love Norfolk! My mum grew up in a little village called Gooderstone in the early 20th century. We usually go up to North Norfolk for at least a week every year - feels like home!

[Timothy]

Hi Angela,
I was born in Boughton, about five miles from Gooderstone! and lived in Oxborough for a time. What a small world! I now live in Narborough, about 8 miles from your ancestoral home, next door in Norfolk terms!
All the best Paul Rix [oldgeezer]
P.S next time you're this way drop me an email and pop in for a cuppa!

[Terri]

I'm currently in Coventry, grew up in Milton Keynes and the plan is to be in Dorest before the years out!

[Sandy]

Well I never! Gooderstone churchyard is full of my Lambert ancestors, so guess it really is where my roots are! Oxborough Hall has been a favourite visiting place over the years - and I think that many, many years ago, one of my aunties was in service there.

[Alyssia]

Hiya! I live in London/Essex :D

[Fiona (Titch)]

I am in Kettering, Northamptonshire lol
