There's a saying in our village, "You can take the lass out of Sunnyside, but you can't take Sunnyside out of the lass". Perhaps it's said in a lot of villages, but it's certainly true about ours.

Recent occurences have started me thinking about my childhood, chats with cousins during my Aunts illness and ultimate death made the memories flood back.

In this blog I plan to write them down, read if you want, comment if you want. All I can say is that I doubt I will ever earn a prize for literacy, my spelling "leaves a lot to be desired" to quote my English Lit teacher "Mr B", and this will probably be the most I have written since I did my CSE's (think GCSE only harder!)

You're welcome to join me on my ride.
