Nostalgia

[LadyGaladriLezb]

Just a trail of reminiscing about things you knew and loved when you were younger. Maybe treasured memories of old friends or family members, something you enjoyed as a child but no longer exists...favourite TV shows or toys...anything at all from the past that brings a smile or a laugh or even a tear.

My country. I was there last summer. The country I grew up in does not exist anymore...Different people, different mentality, it changes more and more every time I go back...but this time the shock was even bigger..

First thing that comes to mind are REAL cartoons like Pink Panter, with a whole orchestra behind it, this stuff is not being made anymore because it is 'too expensive'.

 

[LadyGaladriLezb]

yes, France

I've been there once...on a school tour in 1992! We saw a little of Paris and went to Eurodisney (it had opened that year I think) so hardly a cultural experience. The French are a lovely people in my experience x

You went when France was still France...You would not recognize it...

Summer car trips with my family. Listening to a John Denver cassette on repeat with songs like Take Me Home Country Roads, Annie's Song and Grandma's Feather Bed. My father getting increasingly annoyed with our antics in the back seat until he would either rev the engine much more, angrily shout at us to shut the hell up or threaten to leave us on the side of the road. And once he actually did! My and my sister stood there for maybe 3 minutes until he and mum came back and picked us up in silence lol
