It sounds like your son will be pursuing non-stop springs and summers for a while. Sounds like fun, but I prefer having my roots in one place.

We adore Brighton, but despite having a couple of homes there, we prefer to live where we do (for the last 40 years).

I live in Highdown Road just along from the seven dials and near the 6th form College, formerly the Grammer School.<br />What a wise move you made, Brighton is nothing like it used to be. Overcrowded most of the year but ridiculous in the summer.<br />Of course we are now a city, ha, ha, and supposed to be cosmopoliton, ha, ha, forgive my cynicism but I remember the old Brighton and loved it.<br />I went to a small school called St.Martins and then on to the Stanmer Secondary Modern. I then met my husband at 15 and married at 17. Amazingly we are still married and happy, so it does work out sometimes.<br />I'll end there before I bore the pants off you and you wish you hadn't commented. lol<br />Briony<br />xcrafty cat cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06251582085392890533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-50959675867129956612011-08-18T17:33:40.014+01:002011-08-18T17:33:40.014+01:00With your crisp new roof, Heron, nothing can now p...With your crisp new roof, Heron, nothing can now penetrate.

Not to hear the sound of snow sweeping over the roof or to see the brilliance of frost on the plants and miss the thrill of driving on icy roads, when most others are to timid to venture beyond their door steps.<br />But each to his/her own eh?A Heron's Viewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06563706152609630696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-2919885636430858912011-08-18T17:15:26.007+01:002011-08-18T17:15:26.007+01:00What an AMAZING photo!What an AMAZING photo!Share my Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08817611851604816123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5227064496185547313.post-637021328592226762011-08-18T14:22:19.212+01:002011-08-18T14:22:19.212+01:00Sounds like a true pioneer.
