My father actually pulled up once and made us get out and stand on a roundabout! I am laughing now at the thought of his fury. (We did loooooong trips from Warwickshire to the north of Scotland, so there was a degree of boredom in the back seat!).menopausalmusinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12255069917743230560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4316792173764568160.post-80613006552449382322012-10-06T15:19:47.931-07:002012-10-06T15:19:47.931-07:00Oh, such beautiful memories you have, my Dear!

And then after getting married it was a while a common site of family holidays whilst the kids were growing up. The last one there was about 6 years or so ago - we went to Swanage or Corfe Castle normally. But it hasn't been on the list in recent years. I had at one time thought about moving down there but that all seems a long long time ago now.
