) where did you move from?

Re: Where are you from?
My wife & I lived in Minehead, in Somerset, for eight years immediately before moving to Boston, MA.
We were Youth Hostel wardens. The YHA made us redundant; so both of us lost our jobs and we lost our home (came with the job) in one fell swoop. Decided to move to Boston, go to grad school, start earning some real money for a change.
I grew up in Sevenoaks, Kent, though.
