One of my 1st childhood "bestest ever";-);-) memories was ~ me & only brother ~ playing "Riley's buses" ~taking it in turns to sit in a small "Triang" dolls pushchair we kept in my nannan's Out~house ,whilst the other pushed it round the bend frm my nans top gate & down the long path toward the bottom garage gates!! OHHHH IT WAS bloody brillint FUN !!!!

The pushchair was mine ,that Nan & Grandad bought me for my 3rd birthday(it was Royal navy blue with red & white stars on it )and i can clearly picture it in my head today!!!and still recollect its smell~seriously !! becos it was kept in the washouse,everything IN THERE ,had a musty gardening sort of smell,as grandad stored ALL his gardening equipment in their!!

OMG !! THIS IS BRILLIANT !! ITS SO WNDERFUL TO REMINISS (i cant spell 4 toffee) so excuse the mistakes xx

My Grandad spending hours with me telling me all about his job.

He was a Bus Driver.

He's long gone now of course.

He died peacefully in his sleep.

Unlike his passengers.

Tressy doll and dolls house. I also had a bubble bath doll who had her hair in a ponytail but when you untied the ribbon she had a huge bald patch as the hair was only rooted on the edges and scalp hidden by the ponytail.

I remember my granda getting tar delivered and boiling it up in a big barrel to pitch the shed roof and my nana telling me not to go near. I got it all over my dress, she tutted and changed me but I had to have a poke about again and got covered and this time she smacked my legs for disobeying.

My brother & his M8's Building a tree swing from the massive conker tree over the stream at the bottom of the craggs meadow.They throw a massively thick long rope over the big branch & find a strong piece of wood for the seat,make a knot & thread it through!! the rope had knots in it for handles!!

You could do a single swing lol or "get a taxis!!" 2 @ once !!

OMG!! our Mums lost count of the amount of broken arms & legs pmasl these "swings " caused!!

After "every accicent" one of the dads

would "march down the meadow" with a saw & cut the buggar down!! (us kisz would be gutted!)

PS: within a few days though ~it'd be "back up!"

xx well until the next accident!! OMG !!! those were the days !! WE could play in the woods & meadows down the Craggs with NO FEAR @ ALL

How times change!!

could no sooner allow my son to play in the local woods on a school holiday with his friends nowadays ,yet 42 years ago ,i was ALWAYS IN THE WOODS, collecting bluebells & wild flowers & having picnics with my friends & our dolls xx

We used to take the neighbourhood babies out on a sunday afternoon and pretend they were ours. Imagine anyone nowadays letting kids take their babies out!
