hi brumgum

I did visit briefly when my dad passed on in 1998, you know a yearning to see where you were a lad and I had very happy memories,where me and dad walked etc, but some how it was not the same, now with a wife and two boys of my own I am happy in the surroundings I have lived for some 40 yr's I do have my very happy memories though of my childhood and of the great hearted people who are Brummies
regards
