What is your connection to East Anglia?

My parents were both born and raised in East Anglia and met at the age of 14 at a fair on Bungay common. On my mother's side, my Grandfather was the local garage owner and my Grandmother was the village school headmistress. They met when she took her 1920s Norton motorcycle to be fixed, I doubt there were many women riding in those days so it must be where I get my love of all things to do with engineering.
