blimey, 17 places in 43 years

(I'm working on the basis of 'home' being where your important stuff is e.g. after 15 years old where your guitars are)

Roughly a three way split between Willingdon, Pevensey Bay and Hove. With a smattering of London, Leeds and Cranfield for educational purposes.

please tell me, was the first year spent in a tent by the bowling club?

My parents tell me it was a basement flat but it was the very early 70s and my dad's a musician with a beard so anything's possible

Wow. 30? I'm surprised by that. And I'm not finished yet. That's one house every 1.4 years. Bearing in mind the first place was for 16 years, I've moved more than once a year since then. How depressing!
