Woke up in London this week to the sound of confused seagulls outside of our house, flying in the sky, miles from the sea. It's a sound I grew up with, one I took for granted and one that was part of daily life before I made the move south. It didn't half make me homesick.

Seagulls always remind me of my grandparents - lots of summer hol trips to Weston-super-Mare.
Seagulls always remind of the McDonalds parking lots here in North America.

Noisy seagulls make me homesick for North Wales where I grew up. Canadian seagulls are very quiet in comparison.
