I've experienced that too. Reading about NZ is interesting to me, the names of places and things, I suppose I don't pronounce them correctly either.

And I've had the same experience: remembering something as vast and finding it not so from the perspective of my adult self. We grow. By comparison, other things shrink. And our amazement, as children, of the wonders of things make them seem larger-than-life, I think.Merihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07024443046207501650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2659897268236249304.post-25701442867597764042010-09-19T14:25:02.683+12:002010-09-19T14:25:02.683+12:00That was funny..you must have been writing your co...That was funny..you must have been writing your comment Ticklebear as I was writing thank you!

Yes, oh yes, so many things and places of my childhood look so small now when I view them as an adult. I think the places diminish in size, but our appreciation in them grows so much more in the process. This was so lovely to read as I close my day here.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
