    8 week terms.
    Proper weather (you don’t get it in London).
    £1.85 for a pint of Stella.
    Being fit.
    My dad.
    University drinking.
    Thinking I understand women.
    Skinny t-shirts.
    Not feeling old at gigs.
    Being excited about a new Oasis album.
    Camden.
    Global Hypercolour t-shirts. Yes, they were awful, but the day you got your first one was bloody exciting.
    What a lovely, lovely post. Thank you.

    Being able to run to my Mum and Dad and know that whatever was wrong, would be OK.

    I miss when my children were little.
    Riding my horse in the Colorado Mountains.
    Fishing in a stream with a willow pole and worms.
    Hiking the mountains.
    Making candy at Christmas.
    Sailing in warm waters.
    Traveling with my daughter.
