Holidays

Oh, Smooth, it's just my kind of place! Does your family still own The Farm?

It's just my Gramps now, but he is still there, yes. I plan to live there myself one day. I get all nostalgic just talking about the place.

One of the coolest features on the property is this massively huge tree. When it was a seedling (well over 200 years ago) it had a boulder next to it the size of a mini Cooper. As time went on, the tree grew completely around the boulder - just swallowed it up - and now, the only way to tell there is a huge rock inside the trunk is to know where to look at the base of the tree and find the hand-sized gap between 2 roots that show the rock barely protruding.

It's just beautiful and truly my kind of house. When you move there, you better get a spare room ready for me!

Thank you so much for sharing your memories and your picture!

Nice place Smooth

There's loads of things I'll (probably) never forget... Has little to do with liking them though.

I remember being on a plane when I was 3 or so.

I remember driving through water in a Jeep when we got there.

I remember playing one of my first games (again 3 or so).

I could go on

One of my favorite memories was when me and my dad hired a camper van and me and one of my closest friends went through a months tour of France, it was wonderful there are so many delightful sights, people, fantastic cuisine and hot weather. The main highlight was going to Paris and visiting the Eiffel Tower. I was only 12 so I think it is time to do it all over again and maybe travel through spain and italy. One of my life ambitions is to visit as much of the world as I can, as I only have one life and I want to savour as much as I can of our wonderful planet, but for the time being I will be saving money till the very day when I can set my sail and drift of into world...

Umm... I remember when I used to vist my Nana and Granda. Me and my Granda had a carrot fight and were running around the place like headless chickens

My Nana was in despair over the state of her carrots afterwards.

I also remember having a nightmare and telling my Nana about it and she prayed for it to go away and it did. If I couldn't sleep because of them, then she would sit up with me and talk to me and read passages out of books about spiritual healing (my Granda was a spiritual healer).

I remember having picknicks in the garden and climbing on the roof of the garage to sit with the cats and read. I climbed tree's and such with a cousin.

I remember siting in the front room of my Nana's and then her dog called Jessie jumped up behind me and stuck her snout in my ear, I also remember seeing Jessie asa puppy. She was soo small she could fit in the palm of my hand.

I also used to sit in a small shed in the backgarden and pretend it was my office. I drew stuff and rearainged my Granda's video's alphabetically

He moved them back, so I moved them again. I used to sit in there loads, until a spider came running out from underneath the desk and then I never went in there again

Seems that most of my memories are from my Nana and Granda
