There is a Genesis called Home by the Sea, and, I think it sums up Memory Lane perfectly.
Images of sorrow, pictures of delight
Things that go to make up a life
Endless days of summer longer nights of gloom
Waiting for the morning light
Scenes of unimportance like photos in a frame
Things that go to make up a life
The past is a foreign country, they do things differently there...
I agree Annie - L P Hartley got that absolutely right - I rarely venture down memory lane, I prefer the present to the past. I find aspects of the past too upsetting to think about - it is indeed a 'foreign country'.

Lots of things give me memories of times gone by, pop songs & photo's mostly. I love to reminisce, probably not good to dwell on the past though, after all it is long time ago.
I have embraced memory lane today.
I was going through some of my Godmothers things.
I found photos of relatives, I have never met, they died before I was born.
I could see me in the faces.
