Departure day , its strange to think I'll never return here. Sure I can drive down this street again someday but the family home I grew up in ,that my mother was born in ,lived in for 79 years and that I could always return to will be owned by someone else. Its the strangest feeling ever. The street has changed much in my lifetime but even more in the 82 years since my grandmother moved in to it in 1941. Still as they say when one chapter ends another begins. It's not the end of MY story ... where it will go next who knows....but its time to go find out.
St andrews street 1941
And 2023
We left around 11am after a quick visit to my sister, she got quite upset ,I think me leaving has made everything real for her , I think we've all been so caught up trying to sort out the house and mum's things that everything has appeared like we are outside looking in .... to be honest I still feel that way , I'm now on Gretna but I can't recall most of the journey I've done to get here other than the continous rain I'm aiming for around Preston today I think but will see how it goes, I'd like to be parked up before it gets dark so just about to head off again.. cab heater isn't the best in this van to be honest its bleeding cold and a horrible day . Let's hope it improves .
