poortoun : "a city with my name on, i will enter in disguise" : Jackie Leven.

see all this week's sepia saturday posts

I am having incredible lucid dreams at the moment: like a box-set I keep getting repeats of 'Previous Espisodes'. Mostly of places I used to live. Hebden Bridge:Halifax:Cheshire:Liverpool:London's East End;London's City ..etc. Warm dreams...but I wake up wondering where I am now......No Partisan!

 Jackie Leven:Winchester: 2001. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackie_Leven
It's 7 years since dear sweet Jackie died....... 
here   is my post from that time...........
This week's sepia saturday theme is around that of "bedroom".
 Here are two photos I took of my bedroom in 1972.
 I can date them fairly well, due to the wall display.
I was back at my Mum & Dad's house in Halifax after a year in the City of London youth hostel where I had been working.
I display a pencil sketch of me drawn by a lass from Wales. Some underground newspapers & graphics from OZ magazine on the wall.
No Maps you notice? Just a calendar.
Within months, I was off to Liverpool & teacher training college.
This was my security between the two......
Strange to say, I feel myself ( a little) in that same place again...

Very eye-catching wallpaper. Just before my son left for university, I finally got around to decorating his bedroom. A brilliant Irish green paint which he selected, new carpet, and other improvements transformed the blue room he had known from age 10 to 19 into an vivid shamrock fantasy. So he says to me in a dead serious voice, "Are you and Mom planning to open a bed & breakfast after I leave?" (There are a number of swish antique B&Bs in our neighborhood.)

"Are you nuts?" says I. "What do think we've been running these past 19 years? We're planning on selling the business now"

But it's still his secure place too.

The wall paper, posters, books, furniture all lend an emotional feel. Home as it was and is remembered.

That is rather eye-catching wallpaper - especially for a bedroom. I'd find it hard to fall asleep with walls like that. My first bedroom was simple white plaster. But as our family grew, my parents added two new bedrooms and I got one of them - with knotty pine walls. Loved 'em!

Great to have photos of your old bedroom. Love the wallpaper! Belatedly, my sister this week alerted me that one of my family's former homes was listed on a real estate site, complete with a photo of my old bedroom. Alas, the current residents do not keep the room as decluttered as I did, so no posting here. But it was fun to see the four walls anyway.
