Where do you live?
By that I mean in
what state or part of what country.
Me I live in Warners Bay which is a suburb of Newcastle
which is in the state of New South Wales in the country of Australia. Warners Bay is located on the northern side of Lake Macquarie,
and I live a short 5 minute walk from the lake, so you would think I would spend
a lot of time by the lake but nope I hardly ever go near the lake.
Tim and I moved to Warners Bay from Gateshead in 1988, over
the years we have watched the area grow. I can tell you I love it here and have
no interest in moving.
When we first moved here, there was no were near as many
shops, there was a supermarket “Bi Lo” but I rarely went there as it was poorly
lit and often didn't have what I wanted. Now we have a great supermarket “Coles”
along with a bunch of other shops in the complex including a butcher, bakery,
take away shops and coffee shops.
Tomorrow I will share with you the history of Warners Bay.
I live in SW Michigan, USA. Home to vineyards, sand dunes, beaches and large bugs. I spent most of my life in the Chicago area, though. I lived in Australia for a year, as well!
ReplyDeleteYou can keep the large bugs........lol, the vineyards are about a 45 minute drive from me and the beaches are between 10 and 20 minutes from me
DeleteI didn't know you lived so near the water! Cool.
ReplyDeleteYeah have always lived pretty close to water, the beaches are only a 10-20 minute drive from me as well
DeleteI live in Shasta County - Northern California surround by 3 major forests and at the upper end of a very BIG valley. MY husband spent some time in Australia when in the Coast Guard. He always says if he had to leave USA he wouldn't mind living there!
ReplyDeleteWell I naturally feel this is one of the best countries there is, you know when I was younger I had no idea what a county was.........yeah talk about young and thick........lol
DeleteI live in Hilltown, Pennsylvania. Which is in Bucks County. Which is an hour or so away from Philadelphia. Which is across the river from New Jersey.
ReplyDeleteWhich has Chris Christie as a governor.
Who likes doughnuts.
Well, who doesn't like doughnuts?
Now I want a doughnut, a krispy kreme doughnut so not just any doughnut........lol
DeleteI live in a suburb of Kansas City, Kansas called Olathe. Olathe is in the middle of the U.S. Nearly the geographical exact middle of the country. The area is very suburban with about every imaginable restaurant and store. Not much is unique about this area. It is a nice place to raise a family as there are great schools and the cost of living is low.
ReplyDeleteI think if I was to live in the middle of Australia it would be pretty hot and isolated, when we moved to Warners Bay it didn't have take away restaurants either but now it does.
DeleteHow very interesting! I live in the southern part of Texas, not too far from the Mexican border, and even closer to the beach.
ReplyDeleteI knew you lived in near the Mexican border but didn't know you where close to a beach
DeleteFor winter it looks great there, I live close to things too but hardly go as its just getting motivated to do it.
ReplyDeleteWell this winter has been pretty warm, we have had a few cold days but mostly it has been lovely weather
DeleteI live in northern Florida in the city of Jacksonville (the largest city in the U.S. in the sense that it covers more land than any other city; it doesn't have the largest population). My part of Jacksonville is called Murray Hill. People in Jacksonville tend to do things in their own neighborhoods as much as possible because the city is so large. Jacksonville Beach is about 30 minutes away. I've lived here four years and have never gone there. We have a professional football team, the Jaguars. I am not interested in football. I like my microcosm in Murray Hill.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Sounds like living in Jacksonville is kind of like living in Sydney, as Sydney is very large and split into suburbs and people tend to stay in their own suburb
DeleteI didn't realize you lived in Australia! Have you lived in Australia your whole life? I live in the city of Mounds View in the state of Minnesota in the country United States of America. Our city is a small suburb of the capital of Minnesota which is St. Paul. I would love to visit Australia someday.
ReplyDeleteYes I have lived here all my life, don't want to live anywhere else but I think most people are like that love the country they were born in..........sometimes even if the country is not the greatest you often love it
