Prompt: Sometimes we are just drawn home, at certain times in our lives. This is one time for me, and I get to have two days with family and friends. It is an irresistable urge, to return once more to our birthplace.

Lovely inspiration...
Dear Susie,
Thanks so much for hosting this contest. It was great to be able to be reminded in depth about the place I grew up in, and which still has a large part of my heart. In fact I dreamt about my old house in Somerset last night, as I often do.
Many thanks also for the Gold. That was a lovely surprise.
Best wishes, Lou x
