Exploring rock pools at Black Rock near Brighton (now a marina)

Making school dinners out of flowers, mud and water in the garden and park

Skipping

jumping into mounds of dry grass from[looking back]very high buidings,

Playing fox and hounds or releaster with all the other kids in the street we would spend hours out playing such a shame my kids can't do that nowadays

Getting together with friends and going for walks, normally up the mountains behind us. What I didn't realise was that my parents used to watch us through binoculars to ensure that we were all safe. There was I thinking that I was getting away from from the parental influence!

Going out exploring with my friends on our bikes

Playing two balls with friends - with all the complicated moves and associated songs. Hours of fun!

Climbing trees

My sister and I loved making mudpies

we had an open fire and many weekends were spent 'wooding', finding kindling and logs in woodland with the dog

My favourite activity as a child was visiting Foremark Reservoir and climbing on Carvers Rocks. My Aunty used to take me every Sunday afternoon, when she walked her dog. It was perfect time spent with my Aunty. Happy Memories

I remember spending all day everyday over a long hot summer holiday playing hopscotch . My next door neighbour and I would put the numbers on the paving slab and use our favourite stones. We would play the game right through the numbers and then back again. There’s a lot more to hopscotch than you think.

Going on a bike ride with my friends. We’d cycle for hours & just hang out all day

Building sand castles and tunnels in the back garden.

I loved building dens playing ball against the wall skipping rope outside play all day.

Loved catching tiddlers in a bandy net and paddling in the stream; some marmite sandwiches and a bottle of pop and I would be out all day

"Two balls" up the wall whilst singing the associated rhymes, "A Sailor went to sea sea sea, to see what he could see see see".
Lovely memories and I was really good at it! Also skipping and those rhymes "When it is your birthday, please jump in, January, February..........." Loved that. Oh, and of course, can't leave out British Bulldog game.

Oops, forgot "Kiss chase" where you ran into the girls toilets as your sanctuary. Sometimes wonder where they all are now?

I loved making mud pies I would sometimes mix in crushed biscuits that I would manage to obtain from the kitchen when my nan wasn’t looking, I still remember the joy of seeing my mud pies dry in the hot sun and the of feeling of mud and biscuit between my fingers. I was a weird child come to think of it.

I always loved exploring the forest in the local estate.

Going for long bike rides in the summer with my best pal from round the corner. We’d only come home when we felt hungry!

Out playing from after breakfast until it gets dark, only going home when hungry and while out making dens, paddling in the sea, and football.

I just loved playing in our local park from dawn till dusk. It was all i needed. i didn't need expensive days out, All I needed was my friends.

Hide ‘n seek!
