To satisfy my nostalgia I went hunting my old home on Street Map and Google Earth, and it was so good to see that the beauty I remember is still there!
Address is near here, the one with the copper beech
22 Cuckoo Ln
Winterbourne Down, Bristol BS36 1AG, UK

Can't seem to copy and paste this!
I saw the lanes and fields and lush hedgerows, and it was like a tonic. The gypsy caravans have gone, and a house has been built, Properties are worth about 400,000 now in the area and that is pounds! so not bad, (near a million dollars) wish we still had the house and land in our family. But good to see the wall and gates are as my Dad built them...ahhh. The beautiful fields I roamed in my free childhood are still the same, not an industrial site yet!
Sometimes its good to do that on a dull Sunday.
