Probably miles away from home having cycled there, eaten a home made picnic and playing top trumps with lovely friends I am still friends with many years later. Very lucky in that respect they are awesome still!

Probably in the woods making a den with my siblings, climbing trees and damming the brook up, mooching off down the canal to catch sticklebacks as I got older it would be meeting round friends houses or playing with this new toy called a “Frisbee” it was all the rage in that there ‘Merca

Depending on my age I'd be out with friends or down the chally.

As we got older we'd be out later at home but down the chally we came home when we were tired or cold.

With grandparents in Scotland. Days of walking, playing on the shore, seal spotting, skimming, etc. Ending the day making a fire, cooking square sausage and beans in a billy can with marshmallows for afters as the sun went down. Then back home to the caravan, for a game of cards or dominos.

Probably setting fire to the sand dunes . Not on purpose. We were up at the crack of dawn and didn't go home until it was dark. The endless Lincolnshire beach on one side and the limitless countryside on the other gave us massive scope for mischief. Have BMX, will travel. The 80's were awesome dude.

"Didn't we all have a much simpler than the youth of today!"

Our youth was a constant stream of toy adverts masquerading as kids cartoons, pondering white white dog poo was all about and a terrifying stream of PSA adverts ranging from being electrocuted at power stations to Darth Vader telling us how to cross the road (I wouldn't believe my Mum when she told me at the time lol)...

Poor kids today have social media, back to back news about how the worlds gonna implode any day now and global lockdowns.

Yeah, we had it way better.

When we were kids, my parents would pack me and my younger brother off to stay with our grandparents in Studland for the summer holidays. Granny would make us a picnic everyday and send us out the door to go hang out with all our cousins for the day. We'd go off up the heath, or to our camp in the woods, or even borrow our grandads binoculars and hide in the sand dunes spying on the nudist beach
