You don't think about the unusual things about your life until you see them in the abstract. And it's probably fair to say that my upbringing was... unusual.
I think its true that for those of us of a certain age, look back at memories and wonder was it really that long ago. Its not just houses and towns that have changed, friends and family change. As you get older you realise you're the old odd git. its also sad that we lose so many people who were once around us. For me, its when you realise Jackie Chan and Mr Bean are 70 and all our rock stars are dead or bloody old!
