| Longchase, The Darvell Family Home 1963 - 2017 |
Today it was time to say goodbye to "Longchase", our family home in Altwood Road, Maidenhead for 54 years. Tomorrow the sale completes, so this afternoon I went there for the final time to take out the last few bits and read the meters. And whilst it is a sad day, the house holds nothing but the most happy of memories.
Mum and Dad bought the land after they were married in 1960. They moved into it in 1963 and the following 54 years saw so much happiness and it was a wonderful place to grow up in. Spending time there continued to be a great joy in more recent times too. It's time now for a new family to build their own stories and memories, and if they are half as happy as the Darvell family were there, they will be doing ok.
