Ma returns to Weybridge

Image
In 1969 the family moved to Weybridge, Surrey. With Paul & I having flown the nest, Dad gone his own way too, mum left in 1984, to join  my wife Debbie and I in Kent. We all carried/carry many happy memories of our time at Berkeley Court. An idyllic location, the house has a lake, yes a huge lake, stretching away at the bottom of the garden. On the 25th May 2013, I found that my planned weekend activities would take me right past the end of the road I spent my teens growing up in. What a great opportunity then, to kick off the Ashes Tour, with a mini excursion to the place where mum had spent a good number of years bringing up her two sons and caring for her husband. So, I duly popped her in the car and Cath and I took her back 'home' to Weybridge. Ma, myself and our former residence, 59 Berkeley Court.
