Making things for my doll house - they rarely looked anything like what they were supposed to be, but I thought they were fab!

Stamp collecting, the lengths we went to!

I loved my projector from the `70s and would spend hours of a night time showing pictures on my bedroom wall

A whip and top. Loved playing with it and chalking all the different patterns on the top.

I loved playing draughts when I was a child. I played with grownups too and it didn't seem to matter!

I look back fondly on 'playing out' in the street or at the local park. We were free to roam and enjoy playing games such as 'lalio', 'tick' and hide and seek'

Happy days spent outside from morning till sunset. Climbing trees, building dens, paddling in streams and rolling down hills.

My best friend and I would set off for adventures in the wild valleys of south Wales. With nothing but a compass and a box of matches.

Favourite game was gathering wild flowers and fruits and making pretend wine out them with my best friend Linda and then having a pretend party in our den.
