I am sure many of us return to a place where we revisit our childhood memories. My journal this visit would record 10 memories (8 wonderful memories, 2 not so good):
- Countryside: The English countryside! I loved walking through the buttercup fields in the village!
- Pubs: Homemade food; I love the lunches! (Favorites: The Old Lion, Harborough Magna; The Queen’s Head Bretford! + many more)
- Churches: St Denys, Pailton, where my father’s ashes are buried; St Johns, Brinklow, where they welcome visitors and ask them to join the Bell Ringers. One can hear the bells ringing several nights a week!
- History! (Edward VIII Abdicates~ renounces crown for love). Let’s take a pass on Henry VIII? but there’s centuries of more!
- Horses! Cross Country Events; Sue and Nibbles
- Royalty! The Queen’s 90th birthday!
- Vintage Cars! Honk! Honk!
- Family and Friendships! (Love my Mum and Auntie Mo who have shared so much about our family history – it goes back a long way!)
- And sad memories of domestic violence
- And sad memories of bullies and silent secrets
~ Love this country! even with all it’s pomp and circumstance. Still a lot to clean up and speak about! I’m voting stay in! ~J
