Re: Treasured Moments of Childhood
So many childhood memories - Sunday lunch with the family - the smell of whatever meat and veg was cooking in the oven, laying the table and sitting down to eat. Some winter Sundays, Dragon would make a steamed suet pudding and then smother it with Tate & Lyle Golden Syrup - Mmmmm.Re: Treasured Moments of Childhood
Re: Treasured Moments of Childhood
There are some lovely memories posted. Other peoples memories tend to jog ones own too. Roller skating, playing rounders in the road, knocking the neighbours windows in, many times ! There was a sense of free spirit , something children don't have these days. Who sees children playing out now ?Re: Treasured Moments of Childhood
Re: Treasured Moments of Childhood
Being taken by my Nan to Bearman's department store in Leytonstone. She took me to see Father Christmas and we had to go on a sleigh ride to get to his grotto. We sat in the front seats of the sleigh and watched the reindeer pulling us in front. I can't remember what present I was given but I do remember lots of purple tree decorations and tinsel. Whenever I see purple tinsel, I think of my Nan.Re: Treasured Moments of Childhood

I grew up with 3 brothers, and their friends...so I was always with the boys and I loved to do boys things. Street hockey, swimming, fishing......being out in the boat.Re: Treasured Moments of Childhood
I always said I couldn't really remember my childhood, certainly not many happy times - but I've been surprised. I've been going through old photos recently, sorting stuff out. Looking at them nudged the memories which nudged other memories.Re: Treasured Moments of Childhood
I have both fond and frightening memories of childhood. My brother was 8 years older than me and he also had four friends that were a part of his and my life to adulthood and beyond.
