My sister lives in the house we grew up in so I visit often, she bought it off our dad cos he wanted a smaller place

thanks all for adding lovely and sad stories xxx

Not sure I would if I am honest as it may just spoil my few good memories!!

Plus Daddy wouldn't be ithere making us go to bed by just pointing his thumb to the stairs!!

:o)

I walk past one of the houses I was brought up in every day, but it isn't the same now. Would like to have a peep inside though. My first house isn't there anymore now, it was knocked down and flats built in its place. Walk past there most days too.

Can you tell that I haven't moved very far....lol...

I would love to see the home (or wherever it was ) where I was looked after before being adopted.As that would really have been my first home .Just a few weeks mind!Think I was only there until 6 weeks old

Went on to Virtual Earth last night to have a wee look at my old home........it was as clear as anything brought back memories aw!

Like Blue Eyes - which one? I know the cottage i lived in in Mevagissey has been pulled down, it was subsiding when we lived there over 40 years ago!!
I would have t go to a caravan museum to see the 'Bessie Car' and 'Swedish Cottage' caravans we lived in - the double decker bus would be another thing!
My sister & I went to Climping in Susex last year to see the windmill we lived in. It's still lived in as a holiday let - but still minus the wooden top my mum managed to burn down!!
I last saw the house in Horrabridge (Devon) about 10 years ago. From the outside it looked smaller than I remember as a 10 year old.

The house we lived in in the New Forest was made of stone - and was painted white by the people who moved in after us.

First one I remember Hitler bombed it and even thirty years ago I found my way and sat on the front door step (all was left) and thought I must have sat here before!

Yes I would LOVE to.

Mum & dad still live on the same street so I go past my old home a lot. Lived there from coming home from being born til I got married at 21 (far far too young, lol)

I know it won't look the same now but it would bring back so many lovely memories to have a wander round

Ide love to go and stay in my old home, so many great memories, i still go and have a look if im in the area. It was a guest house in Keswick and 1 day i will stay there, ive no excuse really as i only live 1 and a half hours away, if that.

LOL we only moved out of it in April and have been there on and off over the last week decorating one of the rooms. Hasn't stopped feeling like home yet.

I still live in the house I was born in. The bedroom my husband and I use is the room where I was born. My little boy is the third generation to live here. I often wonder if his family will be brought up here too.

We're moving in to my childhood home in the next few weeks.

It's been renovated, rewired, rewindowed, refurnished and redecorated. And some more res that I've forgotten.

Whenever we are in the towns where both sets of grandparents lived I have to drive past their homes.

My Dad still lives in the house I grew up in so I see it often. However come the time to sell it I think I'll be doing a bit of crying.
