It was always a pretty special place for me @CheerBear My high school was really close so I would ride or walk to school. When I was at primary school I began spending most weekends at my grandparents' place in the later years to avoid both the violence at home and any chance of further abuse outside of the home. When I was at home I completely shut myself away in my bedroom from when I got home until I left for school the next day (and weekends when I was at home). I would often ride the 7kms to my grandparents place in the morning and return the next night on weekends.
