Brings back happy memories of watching these programmes with grandchildren.

So many happy hours watching these programmes.
My D is 60 this year and I can’t remember what I watched with her.
I remember the introduction to Watch with Mother when we had to guess which window shape we would be watching through that day.
Such very happy days I was , like most of my friends, a SAHM.
It won’t be the same for many children today.

I now have the tune 'Time flies by when I'm the driver of a train' going around my head. I can't remember which of the 3 programmes it featured in. I hope someone will be able to tell me! Lovely little programmes. I wonder what today's tech savvy youngsters would make of them?

And Camberwick Green?

My DS used to watch in the hope that, one day, Windy Miller would misjudge his exit and the sails of his windmill would take his head off...

I loved Trumpton and Camberwick Green. Windy Miller was another favourite character

Cuthbert, Dibble and Grub. Anyone remember these little firemen from Trumpton? For some reason I started thinking about them this morning and remember sitting to watch Trumpton, Camberwick Green and, I think the other one was Chigley, over the years with grandchildren. They were such lovely stories, personally think they were nicer than those they have these days.
