It was okay because I didn't know any different, but once I left, I knew I would never miss it and never go back, except to visit my sister. Adelaide is my home now, but there's no "real" connection. I stay because all my kids are here.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855531190180918384.post-45203009692126670882014-07-14T14:06:50.832+10:002014-07-14T14:06:50.832+10:00Thank you for sharing your visit to your home town...Thank you for sharing your visit to your home town and the kilometres you travelled in itself tells of how large our country of Australia is.<br />I am not sure you would call it my home town as I was only there until nearly 6 years old. It was a tiny town (more a siding really) just north of Albany called Narrikup. I was taken there when adopted by my wonderful English parents and I often wish we'd stayed there as I love country life. Unfortunately mum became very ill and we had to head for the big smoke so I guess my home town is really Perth as I've lived in its various suburbs over the past 76 years. I still yearn for the country though but at our age we need to be close to medical back-up so Perth it is.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855531190180918384.post-79913587314205657532014-07-14T13:41:59.363+10:002014-07-14T13:41:59.363+10:00I grew up in Singapore, so as you can tell it is a...I grew up in Singapore, so as you can tell it is a LOOONG way from home - or rather my previous home. Things are different, faster, more crowded but the food and shopping there is amazing. I miss my friends, some of my family but I'm now so grounded here in Melbourne that I can't imagine moving anywhere else.

I've been living here 13 years now, and it's only the last few that I've felt comfortable. Now when I visit my old home town, I know that it's not home anymore.LisaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07065657435752888566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855531190180918384.post-84465596984860638332014-07-14T01:20:52.451+10:002014-07-14T01:20:52.451+10:00Oh gosh -- well, I grew up in the small town of Br...Oh gosh -- well, I grew up in the small town of Brockway, Pennsylvania. Population 2500 maybe. I do have fond memories, mostly of the house I grew up in. It now sits forlorn and empty after I sold it to settle my divorce. While I miss some of the residents, I don't particularly miss the town. I didn't land too far from the tree. I now live about 10 miles away from where I grew up, and am now trying to create my own little "universe" of my cats and myself; a little sanctuary where friends and family are always welcome. My wanderlust left several years ago. <br /><br />Boy, that's not much of a response, huh? :)Jonathan The Greathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10829892910065468776noreply@blogger.com
