It was on this date in 1997 that we left Hartlepool with a massive van of furniture and two cats in pet carriers bound for Northampton. Hard to believe it's 14 years but it is. I was 24, nearly 25; now I'm 38, nearly 39. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that the four years we spent there were four of the best years I've had so far. Well, my kidneys stopping working wasn't much fun but that was only about a month of it (most of August 1999, the eclipse month). Other than that, though, even with moving around Northampton a lot, it was good. :-)
What was particularly good about it? Apart from living near family:
1. The time I spent volunteering at the Gold Street Oxfam shop.
2. Tae Kwon-Do.
Good crowds in both places.
