There were no digital cameras. Some of the 'out takes' were hillarious but sadly now lost due to the delete option.

And there was always such and such mates who tagged along. Now you kind of ask permission to ask extras. Think it was a lot more friendly minus mobile phones.

I think life was more interesting when you believed in santa and the tooth fairy. And when you would watch Toy Story and keep a very close eye on all of your toys. I guess just being a kid and not knowing so much about the world.

This. It still happens if you go to the right things. Evolves in the moment & often even better than expected.

Especially now when people have been starved of being with people after isolation.
