Thanx, I have not been back since early 60s,left are joined Royal Marines,spent 21 years doing that. then ended uo in Kent, but now retired to South Wales. But, just this last year or so the memories keep calling back (I think its an age thing.lol)
I am going on a around the UK memory road trip starting next weekend (thought I had better before I get too old) going accross to East coast ,up to scotland,and down the other side,blackpool,Rhyl etc etc, just for the fun of it. I will definateley find time to visit Brum and in particular Aston,folks keep telling me I will be dissapointed, but! hey ho!!we have to do it dont we.
Nice to hear about you mum, If only we had asked em more questions when we had the chance.
