    I was feeling part of the scenery
    I walked right out of the machinery
    My heart going boom boom boom

                A pretty short list for me - but I did go along way!

                Colchester, Essex (born and bred)
                East Tilbury, Essex (for 3 years after we got married) - 50 miles
                Lerwick Shetland - 800 miles (ish)
                Tingwall Shetland - 7 miles

                And I don't intend going anywhere else!

                      Deep breath and here we go:

                      Keyingham (village near Hull)
                      Hull
                      Dover
                      Bangor (Co Down, Northern Ireland)
                      Leeds (at Uni)
                      Paisley
                      Hull again
                      Swindon
                      Northallerton (North Yorkshire) and hopefully staying for along time.

                      Not bad for 40 years.

                      This does not include working and staying on sites in 4 other places as well
