Met my wife in London and we eventually moved to her hometown of Singapore.<br />From there we moved to Sydney where we are now. As we go through discussions with a mission organisation they have helpfully urged us to nominate one place as a home base, especially for the sake of our children.David Ouldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10622248017352143637noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5882165486994692239.post-45241643261832628942011-03-05T01:25:38.702+03:002011-03-05T01:25:38.702+03:00From an English fan: Born Oxford, grew up in nearb...From an English fan: Born Oxford, grew up in nearby Witney, Exeter Uni,one year Germany,brief spells Cumbria,Northamptonshire,Wales,Northumberland, SW Scotland, back to Exeter, settled in Whitehaven, West Cumbria fifteen years ago.
