Memories Of My Childhood.

A Memory of Aylesbury.

I grew up in Aylesbury, Barnsbury Avenue, Hardy Close and 73 Westmoreland Avenue. I really miss those days. I went to Broughton Infant and Broughton Junior School and then the Grange Secondary School. I emigrated to the U.S. in 1974 when I was 13 years old. I was a Brownie and a Girl Guide. I rode my bike there from Westmoreland Avenue every week. My parents have passed away and I really miss England too where I still have a lot of family. I want to do a de ja vue of Aylesbury when we are over there visiting soon. My heart will always be there and I wish I could do it all over again. I loved living at 73 Westmoreland Avenue and walking along Turnforlong Ave to the Grange. My parents were the best. Who would have known that I went to high school in the U.S., went to college and married and have a son who is now 32 years old. My name was Hazell Thompson and now Hazell Grant.
