Moving house is such a strange thing isn't it. So emotional at the time, and then with time to reflect you realise that you hold onto all the important memories, regardless of where your bricks and mortar are. xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4269818854687226287.post-25518000205928665152014-03-10T17:30:26.106+00:002014-03-10T17:30:26.106+00:00Thank you very much, that's very kind.
