And what an amazing party it turned out to be. I am still in shock!<br /><br />Mark - going back is very emotional. Part of that emotion is wrapped up in the fact that you know, in your heart of hearts, that you have moved on - and that in itself takes some dealing with.Carah Bodenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429666157453439321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197429752310795554.post-91309175624393415652009-09-28T18:41:57.343+01:002009-09-28T18:41:57.343+01:00Funnily enough I never think of you as 'middle...Funnily enough I never think of you as 'middle aged'.Grumpy Old Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17828200865710133059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197429752310795554.post-51251112542001276872009-09-25T16:12:12.191+01:002009-09-25T16:12:12.191+01:00I love returning.
Last year I went back to Nort...I love returning. <br /><br />Last year I went back to Northumberland; my father was dying and I hadn't seen him in 20 years. I went back to the moors, to the crags I used to climb, to drink in the old pub in the evening.<br /><br />A few years ago I gave a talk at my university and afterwards I walked down the road I had lived and been so happy in. I found myself crying.<br /><br />But returning is not the same as going back for good - not sure that ever really works. We move on.The bike shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05195882998271591934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1197429752310795554.post-60085257801948446032009-09-25T13:51:07.614+01:002009-09-25T13:51:07.614+01:00Not sure why this didn't come up on the blogli...Not sure why this didn't come up on the blogline thingy, but anyhoo I missed it. Going back is always a strange one isn't it? Not sure I am very good at it and always come away feeling melancholic at what could have been.<br />Thanks for the comments on today's post - nerves clearly showing through because it is from the heart. Sigh. Down in Penzance for the weekend eh? I love that bit of Cornwall and a party sounds even better. Heck of a way to come, though with a name like Ding Dong even I would make the effort! xPipanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04048984447721169350noreply@blogger.com
