Forgotten

I lived in a top tenement flat on this street for 6 months 24 years ago. Pure chance brought me back onto the street today to visit a new client located only a few steps away from that old life and I realised I couldn’t remember the street number or which flat it was. That somehow shocked me. It was a bad time in my life and maybe I have blanked out the address along with associated bad memories...or maybe (more likely?) I am just getting old!!

Also realised with a jolt that I have now lived for longer in England than in my native land.

Strange day!
