Moving away from the trophies

[squirmelia]

I am moving again this week, and until today, if asked about fond memories of here, I tended to draw a blank.

Today, I climbed up to the loft, where I had not been for a while, and suddenly nostalgia hit. I remembered waving the pole at the ceiling and swiftly pulling the ladder down, and all the people who had climbed up it with me and sat amongst the trophies. I remembered the times we'd had up in that loft, and those are my memories of this place. They will be what I remember.

where are you moving to? Somewhere different or do you have to move because a contract has run out?

What trophies did you sit amongst, do you mean like things you have collected over time rather than the ones you win.
Moving can be a real pain.

I've moved to somewhere that is maybe about 15 minutes from where I used to live, but there is no loft.

The trophies were in the loft when I moved in - Bevois Valley Darts Champion 1989, that kind of thing. Not ones I collected over time, or won, but I suspect a previous occupant of the loft had won them many years ago.

I will have no net connection at home for 3 weeks, which is already starting to get to me.
