I wonder where everyone is from? I know the group name pretty much says it. However, I'm in the states and reading the posts on Covid updates, it occured to me that everywhere won't have the same policies.

(I promise it is not my fault I live over here, I've wanted to live over there since I was little!)

I've always b been fascinated with Rosehall, Coco Chanel's 'home away from home." Never had the money to buy it though. This picture makes my heart feel homesick, or that's the only way I can describe it.

Where in the States are you? I have a friend in Illinois and have visited New York and Los Vegas. We live on the South Coast of England. Not too far from Brighton.

I hope you get to come here one day perhaps but Rosehall house is a lot of money and pretty derelict I believe.

Take care xxxc

I'm in Alabama. It's horribly dirty here. The rivers are shudder worthy and while it feels like we live in hell from April to about October/November, we have no winter to speak of. I love cold weather. Yep, Rosehall is a hot mess. But you have me a thought. Maybe the fact that she LOOKS on the outside like I feel on the inside is why the pictures make me feel homesick?

Could be. I know nothing about Alabama to my shame. I wish you well. Xx

My late sister in law lived in Virginia, California and finally Texas. Sadly never had an opportunity to visit her due to work commitments and lack of funds to pay for a flight. I didn't know that Alabama was formerly known by that title.

That's right. The British Lung Foundation patients forum has some great members who keep us updated with the latest news & innovations on lung health. Even here in the UK our different countries have different covid rules its hard to keep up with eachother. I live in England, some of my family are holidaying in Wales so whilst they're there they follow Welsh rules.

We love to welcome members from other countries and cultures . I've also got family in New York, Chicago, Detroit, Cincinnati and Michigan lakes. My husband's older brother emigrated in the 60’s....(3 or 4 wives & 4 sons😳)! I'm in South West England, in Gloucestershire though born & bred in West London. Where are you?

PS thank you for the link, very interesting. Perhaps you can stay there one day when it's a finished hotel.

3 or 4 wives I can't remember exactly- not all at once though! I went to the last marriage held on Long Island but my son and I stayed in Washington DC with my nephews who were both at Georgetown. I drove us all from DC to Long Island and back. A great little adventure.

America is so huge!

Coventry girl, born and bred 😊Lovely to learn where people are from 😊

Nice to hear from you Luna Child. I left London England 21 years ago. Since moving away , I have natrulised to Yourkshir Englnd. I don't have a home anymore back in London. And my habits now are a shade of where I live. So wouldn't survive in London nowI understand that feeling about wanting a home , that's familiar. As do people the world over. The thing is everything changes in life. So feeling a kind of yearning is normal. Thank you for thinking of others.

How wonderful to hear where everyone is from. I am Australian but have lived in England for 55 years. I’ve been in beautiful south Cumbria for 30 years and yet for some inexplicable reason I still see myself as a Londoner, I guess those important years of your youth. I am more than happy to be in Cumbria in this pandemic.

I was born and grew up in South Wales (Croesyceliog and then Newport) but left at the age of 18 to work in Sevenoaks, Kent for 2 years. I've lived in Eastbourne, East Sussex for 50 years so I think I've probably turned into an English person now - though still Welsh in my heart! xx Moy

I was born in Sweden and spent the first 30 years of my life in Stockholm before falling in love with a Brit and moving to a village in Hampshire, UK.

So from city life with water, archipelago, woods and rocks on the doorstep to landlocked village life surrounded by fields and hills!

I love the life in the country now but have to admit my heart beats a bit extra for city life (luckily not too far to go to London from here!)

I’m a Mancunian, moved to Bristol with my job about 30 years ago (lived south of Bristol in the countryside). Eighteen months ago we moved to N Cornwall (immediately pre-Covid) after staying with friends overnight in a converted school, decided in a blink of an eye to buy house opposite. Absolutely love it here, incredibly hilly but walking in lockdown and beyond has had the most positive effect on my lungs/heart as well as the most extraordinary rugged coastline walks.

Hi I was born in County Durham, but have been in the Midlands since I was a year old. My Great grandson was born in the USA near SEattle, his father still lives over there . My Grandchildrens father is in USA and My youngest son and brothers family live in Australia. I am English but my family are multi national and my late husband was born in India during the Raj reign. So guess if you talk on here you will find some other USA members and other Nationalities. We are all freinds no matter what and the one thing mainly in common is a lung condition which can be yourself or a member of family.

It's wonderful to hear where everyone is from! I'm in the USA, tiny town in the state of Florida. We're in central Florida, near Ocala, 'Horse Capital of the World'. Lots of pastures, horses and cattle, home to the new 'World Equestrian Center'. Moved here 18 years ago from Pennsylvania, where I was born. Hubs is a Brooklyn boy, from New York City. We were signed up for a tour of England and Ireland in June of 2020 but that was waylaid. Hopefully one day we'll see some of beautiful England other than in pictures!!
