Wow, what a surreal experience! I was just settling down on the sofa after mowing the lawn here in Texas, and what pops up on the screen but Changing Rooms from Edderton in Ross-shire Scotland.
This is pretty neat already seeing as I used to live there, but the next thing was that the actual house, “Carloggas”, that I lived in about 1979 or so so came on screen.
That sure brought brought back some memories:
- some big parental fights.
- visits to family that lived over in Kildary.
- playing with the local kids.
- listening to John Peel for the first time 8pm – 10pm on Wed, Thu, Fri weeknights.
- walking up and down the long hill to the shop to buy Red Arrows ice lollies.
- hiding out under the stairs for hours (years before Harry Potter!!!)
Thanks Changing Rooms!!
