"the colour of a wet slate roof, and the way that the threat of rain is painted on the sky" poetry! I reread over this a few times and then had to comment. Gorgeous 👏
Lovely memories, I always say I am 'southern born, (Salisbury) but northern bred' (we moved to the Wirral when I was 5 years old) and I stayed until I was in my 20s. I feel I still fit in better as a northerner, though like you, I haven't lived there for many years. Nostalgia comes to us all as we get older I think, but not many describe it as evocatively as you do.
