Cornwall(UK) ---> Richmond(Surry, UK) ---> Exeter --->Cornwall(UK, again!) ---> hopefully Calgary (but still in the early stages of deciding where, as/when we get PR status!)

Still looking through all the bits in the other threads so hope to post more soon, and probably ask lots of questions!

Valpariso, FL (US) -> Foley, AL (US) -> Tuscaloosa, AL (US) -> Lafayette, LA (US) -> Montgomery, AL (US) -> Scarborough, ON (CAN) -> Pickering, ON (CAN)

Rather boring, but at least some different places than most here. My mother still lives in Foley which I can recommend to anyone who wants to go to a beach destination for a trip. Cheaper than Florida but with the same white sand beaches plus really good and cheap shopping at the outlet mall (one of the biggest in the US).

Hi
We were from St Austell, moved here in July of this year, would proudly fly the Cornish flag on our car and outside our home but I think people who dont recognise it may think it has sinister intent!
