i know it's tempting , but you should never go back.
I did and all the memories came flooding back, all the what if's and this is where the boys played, this is where i first kissed mrs igor, i know its a nostalgia trip, but that is is what it is . yesterday.and no matter how we try you can 't bring back the past

Yes think i agree with you Igor. I was born and lived in a house for 19 years. All childhood memories there. My Mum and Dad lived there till they died. I have been back a few times and stopped outside and all the memories came flooding back. Did this a lot after my Mum died. But was all too painful and as you say you have to move on, so I do not go back anymore and keep the memories I need in my head. Funny how the house always seems to belong to you though and the "new " people seem like like visitors haha.

Mum and Dad bought a new bungalow in 1936 and it was our family home and birthplace for over 70 years until it was sold after Mum died.
I've met the new owner since at a neighbour's anniversary party and he's invited me to go back any time, ...but I don't know if it would be right to go and see what changes he's made. It needed modernising, so I accept that changes were inevitable....I just don't know if I'm ready to see them.
