the previous thread on toys... what lovely childhood memories are precious to you? Could be anything from banana sandwiches to family walks... whatever tickles your memory... |

"Mine would be the smell of freshly cut grass, playing out in the summer. Everytime I smell the smell I am transported back to being a young child, laughing and playing in the summer fields."
Smell, the limbic system.. stays with us for a life time, doesnt it. |

sitting out in the woods through the night, listening to the forest night life going about it's business...
The owls in the tree at the bottom of the garden
The badger that used to rip the rubbish bags apart
Fishing with my pals down at the lake
Walking out to the top of the highest nearby hill in the morning to watch the sun rise....and again in the evenings to watch it set
Stealing about town in the middle of the night stealing road signs
Discovering Robert Frost poetry
My tree
getting shot
school.....loved everything about it (and for all the wrong reasons)
My English teacher...who loathed me with a passion but taught me to analyse and debate with an equal passion
Oh....the list can go on and on....i loved my childhood....lots of regrets about my own behaviour...but would not change anything  |

My mum making me milky coffee before school.
Walking in the woods near where I lived and fishing for tiddlers.
Bringing home frogspawn, forgetting about it and then wondering why we had dozend of tiny frogs in our backyard.
Going to the Co-op for a pound of broken biscuits andif they didn't have the ones I liked some would get accidentally broken.
Cuddling my mum, mind you I miss that even now |

Waving cheerio to mum on any given morning in the summer hols and not knowing what time I'll be back.
Scrumping Mr Green's apples (who didn't mind really as he was a lonely old man who's wife had passed on)
Going to the shops on a Saturday morning with my 10p pocket money and coming back with an arm full of sweets AND a comic (try getting the same deal now huh)
Making a den under the elderberry tree in our back garden.
Playing 20-a-side football down the park until sunset.
Then playing 'Knock Up Ginger' on the way home lol |
