When the Salisbury Park could no longer have grass around the playground equipment due to the traffic of our feet they tared it. That makes you tougher quicker. LOL.
Salisbury Park has bad memories for me. An Alsation was chained to a pole, and the chain was around his leg, so I went to help him and bent down to untangle his leg, and he grabbed my head in his jaws! Luckily, a chap saw what was happening and ran at full speed and kicked the dog right off my head. I've never been a fan of dogs since that traumatic experience.
Shame. Sad. And their my favourite dog. I've had about eight. But I was bitten by a Boxer protecting her pups and it was frightening.

This was my Mom's mirror, which was always on her dressing-table. It's mine now and I love it! One doesn't get beautiful things like this nowadays.

7 for me!
14 and as old as dirt!
Or your car is older than you realise!
Yeah, went back to the UK and got beaten up by the same blokes when I was a kid. However there are a couple of them on the missing persons list now. I will never tell where I hid the bodies.
The people I bought my house from. I frequently saw them drive past.
I went to visit my old home I grew up in. The people hadn't done any major alterations. I personally put in a fish pond when I was about twelve. Very proud I was and it was very professionally done. They had dug it up. My master achievement was gone. Not bad though. I enjoyed seeing it again. Good memories.
My weight!
The same 1 200 odd girls that went to my high schools sister school next door living next door now.
Polio, if I remember correctly!
The corner cafe - gone but not forgotten.
