trip down memory lane!

 On Wednesday after a poor debut at tabletennis I drove south for a nostalgic tour of a few places that were 'home'

First house was the one we had on our return to UK then there was the unit over the  newsagents where we lived with Al. Finally my dad's cottage and the surround village houses.



 


 
Thursday was spent at Bletchley Park which was once a top-secret home of the World War 2 code breakers. The movie Enigma was loosely based on Bletchley Park! The display's were terrific and you could only stand and wonder how clever the people were who devised the early 'computer'.



 


Today was spent around my childhood haunts with the first stop being our family home. Dad had the house built and it was ready to move into in 1952. 
  We called it 'The Firs' it is now
Shallimar! The window on the lower far left was actually the garage when we lived here. The top right was my room but the right hand side was a later addition.

These are some pictures of the Denham village where we went to school, Sunday school and Infants school.
