Re: Reminiscent of my childhood days
Thanks for all those memories Lion Queen. Another one here who remembers life as it was in those days. My growing-up years were the 1950s so all that is also very familiar to me. When thinking back to those days it makes me realise that although we didn't have much by way of material possessions, we did learn about life by experiencing what is described. The lives of youngsters today is sad in some respects, they miss out on so much. That includes not learning basics of life due to how they are now 'mollycoddled'. Many was the time I returned home battered and bruised having fallen out of a tree while 'scrumping' or soaking wet due to falling in a stream or pond while playing. All that may have been a tough way of learning but learn we did and it gave us the opportunity to do that, so very different from today.Re: Reminiscent of my childhood days
I can only speak for the early seventies, I was the driving force for our gang, perhaps the rot was just setting in, without motivation, there were several peers who would have been content to bask in the warmth of the sun, unaware of the passage of time.Re: Reminiscent of my childhood days
LQ.Re: Reminiscent of my childhood days
I remember those days well LQ. We lived quite close to the fields ..... and to a railway track. We were sent out after breakfast with a paper bag of jam sandwiches, to call for our friends and make our way to the fields. No duffle coats in those days, I had a check coat from a secondhand shop and knitted hat and gloves.Re: Reminiscent of my childhood days
Oh yes mags just reminded me of the sticklebacks and newts, we used to love fishing for them in the stream in the woods. Our woods were called bluebell woods, pretty bluebells everywhere.
