Where do you think of as home?

**PoppyHoney** · 09-09-2007, 02:46pm

Hmm, listening to the radio earlier, someone said somethng that got me thinking about homes.

I haven't lived with my parents in over a year and a half, and although they've moved in the meantime, I still think of their house and town as home. I still can't really get my head around the fact that I have my own home with Evie in a different town, and that is my home.

I think in a way, I will always think of Arundel as my home town, because that's where I spent most of my childhood, even though I wasn't born there.

So where is your home town? Is it the town you grew up in, the town you were born in, or the town you live in now?

Where i am now definately, we've been here 4 years now and tbh its only since we actually bought this house from the landlord back in January that this house feels like home now, before it always just felt like we were borrowing it iyswim.

This isn't the town i grew up in but its very close to where Dh was born and raised, and its not THAT far away, we're actually still in more or less the same place its just a HELL OF A LOT nicer than where i grew up because tbh it was vile where we lived and i HATE going back there.

I'm much more comfortable here now and never want to leave this particular area, well i wold move just down the road to next village/town but no further really.

Neither my Mum/Dad live where we grew up now, my Dad has changed county's altogether and my Mum lives not that far away from it. My Sister lives the closest to where we used to live and she hates it too and is just praying that the Council will move her somewhere nicer eventually.

Well I am still in the same town so technically am still home.

I did used to refer to my mums house as home for quite a while after I moved out but it has been 121/2 years now so my house is definetly home

Theres a place over the back of Portsdown hill called Pigeon house lane, thats where I call home.

Where I grew up - NE Fife. I am very homesick at the moment. It's just so beautiful and easy - no traffic, gorgeous scenery, nice people, but still near enough to cities and towns that it's got nice pubs, restaurants etc (e.g. St Andrews is fantastic now).

Edinburgh is fine but it is so not where I want to be past about another 5 years tops.

Where I am now

I have lived in the same city all my life, have moved to a couple of different towns but this is my home.

Where my parents live I have never lived with them (they moved two weeks after we moved in here) so I dont consider that home at all

Well I'm back living in the place where I grew up from the age of 12. My mum still lives here and now most of my siblings are living here too, us all having done the 'moving away from the family' bit. I think it will always be 'home' although I'm not intending on staying here long-term.

Where I am now. It's where I grew up, went to school.....now my kids go to the same wee village school that I did.

I love where I live. Family are nearby, friends are too, and I am within an hour from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Perth, Dundee and Stirling! There are certain places I can walk the dog, look over the countryside and know that I am *home*. A very reassuring feeling indeed.

Where I am now. This is the longest I've ever been in the same house for (I had a "unconvential" childhood and once moved house four times in a year

) so I most definately see this house as my home.
