I do visit occasionally, but rarely. It tends to make me sad for the house I had to sell.

I inherited my mum's house (the house I grew up in) but her sons from her first marriage contested the Will. I didn't have the money to either fight it or buy them out, so I had to sell the place to give them their cut and move out whilst heavily pregnant with Eldest. (I was also worried about putting myself under that kind of stress while pregnant).
