Did a bit of personal reminiscing at the weekend as Mrs. B and myself have now been together for 30 years - 3rd time lucky I guess.
Anyway, I decided to do a Google Earth to see if I could locate the Blinking Owl and "relive" some of those bends and roads of my youth.
What's that about leave the past in the past? :
A main Highway now passes right through where Passingford Bridge was [ "Fishing for Gold Stars" ] and the river is now in an underground culvert - wonder if they found 2 Goldies when they were constructing !
The main M25 London Ring Road passes through where the Owl was - so that's also gone ..........................
Yep, nostalgia is not what it used to be. :'(
