    I was born inBury St Edmunds in Suffolk, I love it here & have never had the urge to leave this place, we live six miles out of BSE now & that's lovely, far away from the hussle but close enough to be in the hussle in less than 10 mins. I thought about moving to Florida (or at least trying too) a few years ago but when I gave it a lot of thought I decided that wasn't for me, I've never ruled out a holiday home there...maybe one day??

    I've had some lovely holidays abroad Florida (five times), New York, Spain (several times), Greece (several times), Turkey, Cape Verde, France, Maldives, Egypt, Canary Islands (several times).
    As a child we went to the Isle of White, Yorkshire, Devon, Cornwall, Norfolk Coast, last year I visited Edinburgh which was lovely, I hope to go again this year.
    I'm not sure where we will go on holiday this year, Egypt is obviously out of the question,which is a real shame, Kev is looking at long haul personally Tenerife is looking attractive :) short flight & sunshine.....perfect!

          @Sandy Ground Were you born in the little village of about 200 people (Downham) in the Ribble Valley, moved to New Zealand as a teenager and although you say in your profile that you're in Sweden the trolls were supposed to have come from Norway? :scratch:

            @shiney There are trolls here in Sweden as well. Even if my family does originate from the area mentioned, thats not the village. Never been to NZ...

            @miraflores it was the photo M posted.

            I took "down home" as being Downham, a very small village in Lancashire :noidea:

            All of the films about Middle Earth were made in New Zealand, but I suppose your reference was to Midgard :)

            Sorry ;) writing too many quizzes has twisted my mind! :loll:
