In 1983 we moved back in for six months, before selling up and shifting to Australia.Anyway, ten minutes ago I happened to be browsing UK real estate - something I do perhaps once every couple of years, purely for nostalgic reasons - when I spotted our old house on the market:An interesting fact: Before my parents bought this house it belonged to an english actress who - I believe - appeared in one of the early Bond movies. They speak English but the architecture and weather is mediterranean.I only hope my kids are storing their own special memories of our current house.Back to West Wickham: at UKP679,000 (Approx A.6m or US.26m), the old house is selling for almost ten times the price we sold it for in ‘83, and exactly 68 times what my parents paid for it in 1969/70.Update: Found some old pics my parents took in the early 70’s:This one is July 1971, 12 months after moving in.Same day, right hand side of the house.
