Quiet, lazy summer days when the sun always shone and there was always 'time to stand and stare' (W.H.Davies)

rain - saying with my cousins in the SE of England and the rain being warm - never was at home.

'Singing Together' A radio programme we listened to at school where we had pamphlets and had to join in with a women who sang in a really high pitched voice. That was our music lesson. Feeling old!!

Did it put you off singing for life?

 

Trains. I used to watch the trains going under a bridge near us. I grew out of it - my husband didn't.

Funnily enough it didn't Meg, it was a bit of light relief. I've still got an old pamphlet in the loft somewhere and I can still do a rousing chorus of 'Men of Harlech'

 

Uncomfortable school hats. A straw boater in summer and a brown velour 'pudding basin' in winter!!

Variety theatre - we were taken to our local one every week, the only theatre im the area.

Water World

Xtra special days.......birthdays and Christmas

yoghurt - after all my childhood saying I don't like it, I found I did

Zoo. Going to visit Belle Vue Zoo in Manchester (no longer there) and having a ride on the back of a camel and an elephant. It certainly wouldn't be allowed now!
