When it was my Mum and Dad's 40th wedding anniversary I did a book for them about the house that they live in on Fielding Lane. They've been there for 30 years. At the end of the book I did a potted history of the other houses that they'd lived in. Their first homes had been knocked down for regeneration in Blackburn but one house in west end of Ossy is still there. So I contacted the owners and asked if I could have a chat with them about the house. They were extremely nice, despite being quite elderly and ill, and invited me round for a chat. They showed me round the house and told me who had lived in it since my parents.

It felt really weird being there because I hadn't been back since I was 8 years old. It all felt very small because it had seemed so big to me at the time.
