So lovely. Having lived 25 years in my current city, I experience this regularly. I wonder how it is for my children, who have never lived anywhere else, not even in a different house. Having children is the closest I've come to bending the time-space continuum - I look at them and I see them simultaneously as they are now and as they were five, 10 , 15 years ago.

Oh, Alison, this post is absolutely wonderful. 'Haunting' yourself - what a great metaphor. A stunning read.
