Down Memory Lane

Today a trip down memory lane. The first 12 years of my life I lived on the West coast of Cumbria, and today mum and I revisited old houses 5 of them, places and people so many memories. We had a marvellous time remembering, telling stories.
We had a lovely hour with my God mother, whose memory is waning but we lit up together as we remembered so many happy shared memories from my childhood. Her husband said, "she's still beautiful isn't she?", she could be nothing less to either of us, and now in her 9th decade she remains remarkably glamorous.
This area knows surprising poverty, but driving with snow topped hills to one side and sea to the other there is a remarkable beauty to it.
Photo today Seascale, I moved here aged 2 weeks, so here are my early memories, including drinking the furniture polish, hitting my head unconscious twice, waking the neighbours in the night regularly on my dads departure an early shift, being caught about to take a draft of bleach. Oh to be so fearless again!
Now sat down with my Aunty Ol and uncle Chris for my initiation into Strictly- pray for me.
