2024 - 4 Months of doing something different

I had a nostalgic visit to the area where I grew up - I haven't been there for a long, long time.
My childhood home was demolished in the 70s, slum clearance, so there's nothing to see there except newbuild terraced houses. However, on the other side of the main road there were 4 roads of, what we thought were posh houses ( because they had indoor toilets and bathrooms). Every school day I would walk along one of these 4 roads to go to school (Infants & Junior). It didn't matter which road because they all ended up in roughly the same place - on another main road to be crossed to the school. We walked those roads 4 times a day, morning, home for lunch and back again, then back home in the afternoon. According to Google its just over half a mile.
I went to one of the "posh" houses today to pick up some freebies, and it brought back so many memories. I could still remember which houses my friends lived in and special memories about them. There was Margaret Judd who swung me round and I fell over and broke my arm! Robert Langley who had a chemistry set as a Christmas present and made something which exploded and burnt half his eyebrow off. It never regrew! Michael Jones whose family were emigrating to Canada and wanted me to have his rabbit - but my parents wouldn't let me. Ian Jones whose father was a dentist and he used to bring in some of the pink stuff they make false teeth gums from - he made a little "willy" from it and stuck it out the front of his trousers. We thought it was hilarious but the teacher was not amused
 It was good to remember all those old friends wherever they may be now. Thanks to them for all the happy times.
