I live here because…

I live here because...I live here because...

When I first saw today’s Podmas prompt I thought it wasn’t the most exciting but then I realised I’d never actually told you much about where I live and why.   I live on the border of Chester and North Wales and the simple reason I live here is because this is where I was…
