Re: When did you last move home?

We moved here just over 8 years ago and plan to move again when OH retires.

I hate the actual business of packing up, but don't like to think of being somewhere 'til we die off. I think I might have made a good gypsy.

Re: When did you last move home?

I've had about 10 houses...I moved several times in Essex to try to better myself, then relocated to Lincolnshire 12 years ago, for a better way of life and moved 4 times whilst I was there.

I am now living with my partner in Northamptonshire, my property is sold and his was on the market, then he took it off, then suddenly it sold last week to a local chap, so we are back looking again...I'm hoping this will be my last move until we retire, when we plan to either move to France or return to Lincolnshire...I know there's no comparison between the two but we can't decide

Re: When did you last move home?

I moved in May, 2009 from a two bedroom apartment in Beaverton, OR two miles down the road to Portland, OR. My new studio apartment is tiny, 182 square feet but has a lot to offer. On the outside there are three ponds loaded with Mallard duck and Canadian Geese. It was fun watching all the young ones come along the first week I was here.

Three years prior to this move I relocated all the way across the United states from Graniteville, South Carolina to Beaverton, OR. I loaded all my worldly stuff in a rental truck and drove 3,200 miles to my new home & my job at Intel Corp. My recent move to Portland was purely to cut my living expenses.

The outdoor beauty of my new home will make retirement so mch more pleasant. It's peaceful and centrally located to everywhere I want to go.

It rains 8 months out of the year, usually October through May. Then it dries out nearly completely and can get over 100 for short periods as it did in July. The very next week after that heat wave it's back to the low 70s. It's paradise really but can be quite like a rain forest at times. We had a severe Winter last year that dumped a foot of snow and forced many to put chains on their cars, including me.

Lived in my bungalow about 16/17 years-no intention of moving-would miss my next door neighbours too much-we are more friends than neighbours

Re: When did you last move home?

My last move was 1978, I said never again! It would take a year to weed out all of the junk we have accumulated.

Re: When did you last move home?

We've been in our lovely listed townhouse for 12 1/2 years now; we did play with moving a couple of years ago but it was a bit half-hearted and to be honest we didn't really want to move! No current plans but maybe in a few years when we can buy somewhere rural with outbuildings where we can also run our office from.

I will resist though as the house is completely perfect in terms of location, size and style and will be hard to beat without spending a small fortune!
