Memories

Thanks for this.
Mum and I walked up this little road way back, and stood outside STREATLEY
As part of my nostalgia we also went to a little village called Shamley Green where my Auntie Kathleen lived and where I got over my childhood illness.  There was a motor cycle racing track not far away and I can still smell the petrolly smell of those bikes, even today. It wasn't petrol but some high powered essence.
