Lucky you for not much changing because when I visit the haunts of my childhood the places are nigh-on unrecognizable.
Mostly because of new housing developments, yet some say we've not been building enough for years.
The village has changed to some degree Zaphod, and there are plans afoot to build yet more houses, but the lanes and fields beyond the village, are still the same when I visited from the next village where I grew up.
When details were first posted about the planned development of around 200 houses I was angry and wanted to join the protestations, and then I thought about forty eight years ago, when a new bungalow estate was being raised, and Mrs Fox and I walked over the footings of the bungalow where I would spend at least the next fifty years.
Where would I have lived if the local residents had successfully campaigned against the development just like I was thinking of doing now......?
