Wow @nathen007 that was a serious walk- both down memory lane, into your thoughts and in physical reality!
Thanks so much for the interesting read on the hitory of the place too. I have never heard of that area.
I hope that @slobberchops you do get to get inside it too one day!
I can't wait to get to the UK properly one day and even back to Scotland for a better look around too!
Thanks for sharing and thanks for voicing some of my thoughts- especially the bit where you said , how deeply we are rooted and connected to the place we were born,
Even if you hate that place, as I do, you still can't get away from it...
Thank you so much.
You really can't totally escape your roots. I only go back there once a year and to be honest, for the first week, I enjoy it. I enjoy the routine and look at everything with Rose tinted glasses, a bit like when you go on holiday and its always better than where you live! But then, after a week, I've had enough. Family politics kick in, theres mundane stuff to attend to and I realise why I'm happier where I am now and can't wait to get back.
I don't hate it, but it does annoyed me that however much I prefer to free, you can never totally escape!
I hope you're having a beautiful week and are looking forward to the weekend.
Best wishes :-)
