Making perfume from rose petals then selling it to the neighbours

I loved skipping and hopscotch with my friends. We used to draw a hopscotch with a stone on the pavements or chalk if 1 of us had it.

I used to love doing handstands against the classroom wall at playtime, and if you were double-jointed, you could flip over by walking down the wall into the crab position - I never managed it, I am happy that I could do a handstand!

I loved my Etch a Sketch and spent hours on it as a child.

Ball games that had rhymes/songs with a tennis ball against the side of the house , and chinese skipping with long lengths of elastic!

Paper dolls, I loved changing their outfits

My favourite childhood game was marbles, I was never any good at conkers but I could win loads of lovely marbles from my competitors.

Once I was at secondary school I was allowed out all day on my own and I acquired an old bike. My friend and I would pack up picnics and bike off around the lanes with the sole aim of getting lost! Aged twelve we could be out all day and travel miles and our parents never worried where we were - or never seemed to!

Scrumping, the planning, the fear, evading capture, then eating the spoils, quite often followed by puking.

Walking to the beach with my dad and the dog. We went no matter what the weather but it was a bonus on a warm sunny day. Passing through the fields where skylarks flew and hares ran. Oh the memories. x

I miss my collection of Action Man toys.

I was a Tom Boy in primary school and played football with the boys every break and lunch time. As soon as it hit 11:00am we'd charge to the playground and squeeze in 15 minutes of play. It was exhilarating!

When I was a child I love to play Jenga. It's funny game for all family.
We also played with my dad on Chest. Another fantastic game! Now I leaned my son and we play together!

Going off on our bikes with my neighbours; I wasn’t allowed to play with them we were different religions and both sets of parents wouldn’t allow it so we used to all secretly meet up and go off on our bikes to have adventures in the old industrial estate beside us I did that from about We were a group of all ages @7 to 14ish; kids with good bikes, rusty bikes, too small bikes and no brake bikes ! We didn’t see religion we just saw other kids, we used to swap Enid blyton books and comics and played for hours in the factories which were shells and defunct.

Kiss Chase!!

Loved playing with my friends on the Croft has we called it then going to the chippy with our pyrex bowl for chips and peas & gravy ninny our gran had fish loved them days about 1978

oh i used to love skipping on my own and french skipping , also ball games where we had two tennis balls and threw them against a wall whist singing rhymes

Going on bike rides around the village.

Colouring in

Going on regular bike rides with my dad every weekend

I used to press wild flowers and spent many happy hours looking for them and for four leaved clovers

Sitting by the fire playing Ludo with my parents and sister, enjoying the rare family time when we were all together.

I enjoyed playing Happy Families with my Granny. She was kept busy looking after everyone else and so many aunts and grandchildren visited that it was lovely to have that time with her.

I used to have a top and whip that I spent many happy hours by putting different pieces of silver paper or different coloured chark. My mother could not afford much and the only other happy hours when I had a pair of roller skates that only had a strap round the feet and round the ankle. I used to scate round the prefabs that were across the round from our home and obviously had many falls, but it was honest to goodness fun.

I used to love Fuzzy Felt (not sure if you can still get it now!!) and seem to remember hoping that I'd get it at Christmas. It didn't seem to matter if I'd already got it.
