Just don’t mention the war.

I grew up spending the summer holidays in the area, staying at the grand parents in Brixham. It is an area I am familiar with, but I don’t miss.
I did spend many a happy summer there.

Having spent a lot of time there, I have seen the transition from an area for family summer holidays to Christmas for the old folks.
I will return one day, so my daughter can visit and see where her grandfather grew up. It will be fun visiting for a weekend, if the weather is nice.
