Hello Linda.You have moved very often. Bad for making friends as a child. My parents never moved. I never moved too. My home is my castle...... and castles never move
I had gerbils and a hamster in Somerset and I left them buried in the garden there. Otherwise the moving made pets impractical.
It was yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuummmmmmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No wonder he was missing for a few days. Even Adam can’t eat that much in one sitting.
Interesting.I had gerbils and a hamster in Somerset and I left them buried in the garden there. Otherwise the moving made pets impractical.
I won't pretend such a transient childhood was easy. It wasn't. I went to too many primary schools. Even in Somerset, they changed the education system while we lived there so I had to change schools!
I always had the wrong accent as the local dialect is very different in each area we moved to. I was bullied.
When I started at secondary school, my Mum insisted we stop moving and so I finally got proper friends and threw down roots.
It was when we moved to this house that I realised how much all the childhood moving had affected me. I really didn't want to leave the previous house in a nearby village. I was quite upset, even though my current home is much nicer and we were moving to get more space for us and Joe.
It was only when I worked out that I had actually lived in that house longer than I had lived anywhere, ever in my life, that I realised why I didn't want to leave it! We had been there 8 years. From that low point I could start to repair myself.
Now this house is the one I have lived in longest. We have been here nearly 20 years. If we had to move again, I really don't feel so bad about it. I have no family locally, the children have fledged, some kind person invented the internet making staying in touch much easier and I am confident that I could setup wherever we moved and deal with it
I was peckish.
Good afternoon, Bea!
I would never swap cheese for knickers.
Unless he bartered some to the woolspider (if she exists) for that new wool underwear
wifey's considering doing pancakes.
Interesting.
I was also at school in Somerset and had to change schools when they changed the system.

Maybe my knickers for cheese if anyone's interested.
Yes, we were just inside the border of North Somerset, which actually moved a couple of times, I think.Given we are nearly exactly the same age I am not surprised that the Middle School system affected you too. At least you stayed in Somerset. We moved to the new county of Avon as well... since abolished of course
Boooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Okay, I moved one time: From the house of my parents to the house where I live now. It was 1993 when I bought my house.
Thank you. Worked like a bomb.
Only when they are well washed before !I would never swap cheese for knickers.
Maybe my knickers for cheese if anyone's interested.
Oh my word. I would never have thought that was possible.No, it's real, Russian's are excellent climbers and diggers.
And turtles can be good as well.
