Thanks, Polyanthus, for starting this thread. MSN won't let me start a new discussion & the only way I can post is by using reply. My mum lived in Tonbridge, Kent, for a long time & I used to visit every year.... loved it there.
Pat, Good to hear about where you live & all about your family. One of the ladies in my building is coming to Australia in October for a touring holiday.
I was born in UK [North London] & emigrated to Canada in 1959. I married a Canadian man & have 1 son, 2 daughters & 7 grandkids. I am very blessed as all my family live within a 2 hour drive. My dear husband passed away in 2000 & I bought a condo in a senior's building. I am very happy here, we're like a big family.
hugs, Rita
