I can barely believe that!!My childhood home was in Peartree Close... still there I believe.I was always at Bradgate Park as a child or cycling with my dad around the resevoir at Cropstone. Happy days! I also remember the packhorse bridge and taking a fishing net and jam jar down to the brook.There was a lovely church and a wee sweetie shop on the corner.

When you first announced the date of the meetup, Eurostar tickets were half the price that they are today!
