Also had my appendix out at a hospital in Reading. This was back in the 70s and when I visited Reading again a couple of years ago I didn't see anything I recognised.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10600329429654831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-54125362539363780942013-05-19T14:50:30.527+01:002013-05-19T14:50:30.527+01:00I've been lost in Reading, about 1980 ish, hav...I've been lost in Reading, about 1980 ish, haven't been back since.Zighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14325808421083028026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7767918086420070312.post-68558636248296944932013-05-19T10:12:35.253+01:002013-05-19T10:12:35.253+01:00I've only visited Reading three times, twice b...I've only visited Reading three times, twice being to see you. The first was around 45 years ago, when we called on the mother of a friend. She served us the best chocolate cake I have ever tasted, which she had bought at what must have been the best cake shop anywhere ever (going by my long years of experience).
