Playing outside all day and only coming in when we heard my dad shout us in !

Caravan holidays - even when it rained.

Christmas morning and the 4 of us going downstairs to get our presents which were always on the settee.

Sitting down as a family to watch sitcoms.

Going to church- the whole council estate walked up a hill to the church and it was a real community feel.

Going out all day with friends, wandering all over the place and just coming home at tea time. Folding a leaf and blowing it to make a noise. Blowing a dandelion and watching the fluff fly off. Making a daisy chain. Putting buttercups up to chins to tell if we liked butter. Skipping ropes, playing hopscotch

Nice memories this time?!

I loved singing, especially on the garden swing and to sing myself to sleep!

Walks in the woods inevitably by my self. Spent looking for injured animals or birds to care for, (many the time I thought twice about throwing a stone at any living thing just so I could play nurse nightingale to it!!!! Didn’t though smile)
A jackdaw followed me home once. He was attracted to the silver buckles on my shoes I think!

Singing or shouting into the waves at the sea side.

Spending time with my darling nan.

Making people laugh.

Lying in a field and W hatching the clouds for hours.

The gorgeous spring flowering cherry trees that grew nearby.

Crunching red brown autumn leaves.

A new book.

The look on my dads face when I pleased him.

Same now basically
