Great stuff. Nostalgia is such a complicated thing. It can be used for good or evil within your heart and soul. I remember this quote from Greil Marcus - 'nostalgia is a taste for discovery in ruins, an emotional decadence, the refuge of a crippled soul or an impoverished heart'
Thank you for sharing your trip to Whitstable - I am so glad you feel better for the experience. Also, for the interesting comments about the meaning of nostalgia. I am glad that nostalgia is beginning to lose it's negative image.
