Hi I'm Ali (Alison), just like to say hello.

Hello everyone,

This great that I have somewhere I can relate to others, possibly in my situation.

I come from Cumbria, but was living in North East before leaving the country.

Moved to Switzerland in March 2005, to Rapperswil, where I got to know a few of my husbands (reto) friends. However, due to my partners job we have just moved to Langendorf and I feel even more isolated.

I have an 8.5 month old baby called Madison.

Excuse me but Cumbria was never part of Yorkshire and north east could be part of the nasty industrial wasteland that lies further north of the Tees. So I think we need to have that cleared up before we start printing more passports...

But anyway welcome you are even if not fully fledged...

I was living in Ashington on the outskirts of Newcastle and for a short while in Newcastle, I did also live in Leeds for a year (for my job) if that counts towards the Yorkshire fans.

When I would go home (cumbria) they'd say I had the accent but when I talked to new people in North East they use to ask where I was from originally, so they obviously could tell I wasn't a local
