Places I have lived

for more than a month
  1. Prestbury near Cheltenham
  2. Cheltenham
  3. Chevy Chase near Washington DC
  4. Winchcombe near Cheltenham
  5. Oxford: Lincoln College, Museum Road, Botley Road, and latterly the environs of the Cowley Road
  6. AERE Harwell, Oxfordshire
  7. Ipswich
  8. Meyrin, Geneva
  9. Geneva City
  10. Saint-Genis-Pouilly just over the French border from Geneva
  11. Palo Alto, California
What impresses me about this list is that Wikipedia has so much detail on such insignificant places (well some of them are pretty insignificant). Wikipedia even mentions The Burgage, which is the lane where I first lived. It mentions it because it reputedly has a ghost, not because I was born there.

I think of myself as being pretty sedentary, having mostly stayed put in Oxford, so I was a bit surprised by the length of the list - though I'm sure others' would be much longer.
