My parents live in the same town as me, so I am able to see them whenever I want, but I am sure that not every one is so lucky, so how far away are you from your loved ones? |

Hi Maz My oldest girl lives down in Fareham in Hants which is about 2 and a half hours drive away. When we go down we usually make a weekend of it. Would love to see more of them but I work a lot of weekends and she is busy planning her lessons.(she is a teacher) Thank goodness for the phone ...... Lyndax |

My parents live about 3 miles away, Sharons a similar distance. Our siblings all also live within Milton Keynes too. |

My parents are both dead. Sharons dad is also dead, her mother is a five minute drive away. But she may as well be five hours away as she is not talking to me and barely talking to Sharon over the wedding. My sister is only afifteen minute walk away. Not fallen out but only talk when we have something to say to each other, Spud |
