Today's mission (if you choose to accept it)

This is an odd one -

Today I'm heading for my childhood home for the first time in over 25 years

So if I'm missing for a few days - apologies up front - I'll try to keep up if the hotel Wi-Fi lets me

Why odd -

Well unlike probably most of you the place I grew up no longer exists

I mean as in not just the house but the whole area totally gone -

Maybe that explains much of the feeling of disconnection in my life -

As sung by the Shangri Las And I can never go home anymore And that's called "sad."...


I've photographed the recent satellite image on the web and the yellow splodge marks where our flat/apartment/dwelling was

That's all there is now a road - a road to nowhere (not that it ever went anywhere other than the chicken farm)

No sign remains that 64 families once lived here or the play park where as kids we spent long summer days

Why...
Well can I introduce you to
Mossmorran

And as an extra - my favourite Dusty Springfield track

Going Back

Maybe just because I can't xxx
