Swimming in the local river

I remember fondly my time as a Brownie and then Guides. I especially loved the camping trips and even the endless potato peeling and fire making. Great memories

Summer holidays spent on long bike rides with friends

Walking other people's dogs for pocket money. Visits to the pet shop. Sneaking into fields to pet horses and ponies.

I recall my brothers and I packing our bike bags with food and disappearing all day over the fields and in to the woods. Couldn't do it now though!

Climbing the apple tree in our garden and eating a picnic up there.

Making a dolls house with my grandad one school holiday

Playing with those flat cardboard dolls with the paper clothes with little tabs on that I had to cut out so very carefully .Or swapping scraps with my pals .

I enjoyed playing Monopoly every Sunday with a cousin. I used to cycle to my grans house, meet my cousin, and spend happy hours playing it. Great way of getting away from pesky younger sisters and being allowed some me time. I remember it vividly.

Finding chalk in the garden to draw out hopscotch on the pavement and then playing the game with my younger brother.

We always loved to play cards and we still try to play once every couple of weeks

I used to love dressing up in my mother's old dresses, jewellery and high heels!

Hide and seek! All the kids on my street, aged 5 to 19, used to have giant games of hide and seek. It was so much fun, especially for me as the youngest.

Playing with other kids in the street, skipping, handstands against the wall, marbles, cigarette card games ... hardly no traffic about.

playing lego. I used to sit and play for hours building houses

Guessing it sounds quite boring but I absolutely loved reading as a child. I have such fond vivid memories of disappearing into the works of Enid Blyton ?

It has to be playing at horses and ranches on the school field. I rode an imaginary horse most of the time and so did my friends. We spent playtimes riding the boundaries of our ranch checking the fences and the livestock, occasionally we dismounted tied our horses to a tree and had a picnic . When the whistle blew we tied our horses to the fence and went in to lessons, collecting the horses at home time. Those horses were real to us.

Playing 'Buttoney' when each person threw a set number of buttons at a chalked square against a wall and the first person to flick all their buttons into the square won all the buttons. That - and marbles - were the only games I could ever do well and I loved it . So much pleasure, too, from the wide variety of beautiful buttons I looked looking at. Happy days playing in the street!

Playing draughts with my Dad. I always used to win - because he let me!

Climbing trees by the side of the river where we lived, and using a penknife and making marks on the trees

MONOPOLY

We would regularly play cards using a stash of pennies to 'bet'with

Chinese Chequers. I was entranced by the exotic illustrations on the board: dragons and Chinamen with round caps and long moustaches!

Hopscotch! When I could jump around and not be in pain! Fond memories of being able to be active and not in pain ..

I loved making bracelets with my wooden Knitting Nancy.
