Plenty of moving

[mtbc]

I was thinking back to where I've lived over my life. I was born in Urmston in Manchester, my parents moved to a village in mid-Cornwall, I read for my degree in Cambridge and got a summer job there for my last break. After graduating, I moved to Columbus, Ohio, back to Cambridge, England, back to Ohio again: the cities of Columbus and Delaware, then rural outside Marysville. After that, New England: Providence, Rhode Island, then Belmont, Massachusetts. From there I took a job in Dundee, Scotland, lived in two different villages in Perthshire, moved here to Tennessee, first to a short-lease apartment, then a house, and am now to move to Aberdeen, Scotland. Quite a mix of rural and not. A result of these moves is that my eldest child attended seven different schools: two in Ohio, one in Rhode Island, two in Massachusetts, two in Scotland. We ensured that the children never had to change high school.
