No particular place to go...because the boys father and I would go for a drive on a Sunday afternoon with no particular place in mind.
Strange how much I miss him now he has died. He was the only other person who knew and lived and shared stuff with me. Two youngsters who married because everyone else was getting married but we had so little in common. I was a dreamer writing bad poetry and he was a sports jock.

Too many songs to list touch these heartstrings of mine.

Btw, thanks for the earworm
Now I'm going around singing and humming, "Those were the days my friend." I remember that song from when I was about eight or nine. It almost has a gypsy-quality sound to it.

Good afternoon
Those are great songs. I have a laundry list of songs that takes me back to various times in my life, both good and bad. Music is infectious that way.

Re: CCT
I loved those two songs as well. I remember "everyone" singing the blue skies over the white cliffs of Dover - war time rationing was happening in the USA but we were told it was so much worse for the Brits. Kids here bought savings stamps and pasted them in books to buy war bonds, our little bit to help bring our "boys" home again...

The song I always found most touching. There will be blue skies over the white cliffs
of Dover, tomorrow. Just you wait and see. That was just after the war. Another was
when I was a conscript and heard a radio. 'Those dear folk and gentle people who live in my hometown.'
