What happened to your old family home?

[MissCromwellatKingscote]

My mum still lives in mine, but a few friends have had the sad job in recent years of having to sell the house they grew up in.

I'm just wondering what happened to your old family home? Has it been sold on a few times? Has it been changed drastically from how your parents used to have it etc.

My old family home was in Uganda in the 1950's. Three years ago I went back. It was in the process of being converted into Chinese tea Gardens. The owner allowed me to look round. Honestly it was like going into a time warp. Absolutely nothing had changed, same bathrooms same windows, same garden same everything. The only thing that was different was that the staff quarters had gone. What made it even odder was that many of the houses in the road had been demolished and new ones built. Some had been turned into embassies and one was the headquarters of interpol in Uganda.

It was as if it had been waiting for me to come back almost 60 years later.

My parents still live there.

My mum and dad still live there.
