It's Good To Reminisce .....

I thought at one point today I was going to have to visit the CBA Club™ hosted by Mr Grrrrrfoot himself and the lovely missDHP, as my beautiful daughter thought it would be a good idea in the pool changing cubicle to sit on my favourite sunglasses and break them ( yes I do own many, as well as a boot fetish I also have a penchant for jackets, coats and sunglasses). So needless to say I was quite grumpy while walking to the High Street afterwards. But the sun was shining, there was a slight autumn chill, candy floss clouds paraded in the sky and all was well. The college bells rang out as usual at 12 noon as I made my way pushing my little vandal in her pram.
It wasn't a smell, nor a sound that caught my attention and made me reminisce, but a sight. A truly rare sight blasting me straight back to the 80's. For you young 'uns out there you won't have a clue what I'm talking about. But there it was in all it's silver, DMC, gull winged door glory... a Delorean! I suddenly wanted to don an American college jacket, sneakers, climb the nearest clock tower and skateboard down the street. I went all 1980's/1990's thinking of all the really cool (now very cheesy) films I went to see at the pictures : Footloose, Ghostbusters, Teenwolf, Mannequin. Ahh, those were the good old days, or were they? Would I want to go back in time to my teenage years? I loved them, and was a rebel without a clue, but no thanks. The music was good but the hair and clothes were awful, it wasn't until my late twenties I got my colour license for clothes.
But it also got me thinking, if I were to go back in time where would I want to go? I love history with a passion, but there is one era which fascinates me the most and that's the Victorian age. That's where I would like to go, to experience it all, the industrial revolution, women's vote, the clothes, the innovation, the architecture, and the gruesome mysterious murders. I would wander around unnoticed, observing, understanding and appreciating it all, but I would like to have 21st century sanitation when the need arose.
I wonder what era you would like to go to if you could time travel or would you like to go back to the future in the Delorean?
