I was born in the UK but spent most of my childhood and early adult years in New Zealand and Australia. I have now lived back in the UK for approx 13yrs but in my heart of hearts Australia will always be home.

Blanefield/Campsie Fells, Scotland (near Glasgow).

Ironically, only spent a year there but it had everything I love about the UK and that reminded me of fond childhood memories. Close enough to big city life that I could go get me some when needed (without having to live in a city - worst part of growing up in Birmingham city center was living there), but surrounded by country hills and hiking that reminded me of family hols camping and hiking.

Second favorite: middle Tenessee for many of the same reasons. 30 mins from Nashville (favorite city in all of US, and I've been to most of them), but wonderful cycle riding on front door and hiking/camping within short drive. It was place that second most felt like "home"

Great topic.

My heart is in Marazion, Cornwall. Never lived there but my dad was from there and I spent many many school holidays both in the summer and winter staying with my grandparents. The place pulls at my heart strings.......perhaps one day I could retire there

At this moment in time I would say Australia is home, but we will see what my emotions say when I go back to UK in December for Christmas. I will be returning to my own house, with everything just as I left it in January so my heart coul well say otherwise.

I was born in Zimbabwe, but am now a South African living in Australia after spending most of my formative years in the UK. Godshill on the Isle of Wight still feels like 'home.'

Seldwick Road, my Nan's in the 70's but they have all gone and live moves on . . . . . to be honest I think until the day I die I will never really know due to travelling around so much in my 20's.

Most of my heart is in south-west England and think I'll always consider it home, but a tiny little bit of it is in Haadrin, Koh Phangan, Thailand after spending 3 months there in '93. Bliss lying in my hammock by the beach.
