Time takes it's toll...
My daughter in the photo is now in her thirties......The tree house slowly disintegrated over the years. This is how it looks today! Hard to believe it had tongue and groove floor boards, a sliding door and perspex windows!

reminds me of a post one of the lads posted back on the 306 forum some years ago now, He was 26 at the time, and i believe they were taking the trees down. He did post up a photo of his Tree house, that he used to play in when was a kid, and it was still in one piece. He said the memories came flooding back when they knocked it down.
I some times look at areas where me and my cousin used to play, and i recently looked up the caravan site my grandparents used to have a caravan at. How things have changed. The both pubs there are now gone, even though the 1st one shut down in the late 90s, The site itself now deals with log cabins rather than statics, and the field we used to play on, and have horses, now houses touring caravans, their little cottage, and play area is gone now.
Hard to think how things have changed since the 90s and even when 20 years ago. The college i went to, is now an housing estate Laughing the college grounds me and my cousin and friends used to play on, and make dens, has another college block on it. My very last outing with school friends before we parted ways, a little woodland, where he knocked up a daft base. Our last year of childhood / teens. Is now an housing estate too. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

Came across a photo of me and the wife from 1980 (girlfriend then) and despite the changes time has wrought, one thing has remained constant. I am still younger than her, a fact I frequently remind her of. 1982 88" 2.25 diesel

I have dated a couple of older women too, Whistle One funny enough was a mate of mate. She happened to work at the uni library with her. It was only after a few conversions we found out we had a mutual friend. She happened to discuss me with her, and she said yeah meet him. Thumbs Up
