You see the sheer determination on that face in a bid to tip Rupert out of the pram! (or I may have just been holding him up to the camera.. I can't remember)This is me! (Obviously not now unless I am very accomplished!) I think I must have been about two nearly three there.
Luckily I have never tipped my own children from their prams.
After cleaning the windows yesterday I am now suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome, so instead of typing I am going to post some childhood memories of material things I loved. It might bring back memories for some of you too. (You can click on them for larger images).
Kids tv (I must have spent a lot of time watching tv)
Dolls: (of which I had many).
Books: ( I had tons of books this is just a small selection)
Comics/Annuals. (Oh those definitely were the days!)
I shall endeavour to post a longer post on Monday.Thanks for all your comments on my daughters Tepee. They are much appreciated.
I hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

There was a little girl and she had a little curl.....!
Loved most of those programmes (except Bagpuss) and had all the annuals. Still got them actually!
Oh wow - thanks for the memories! I'm 68 .... well, I'M not 68 but that's when I was born .... so I remember those programmes too. I can't remember Chocky though .... maybe that was a later one?
I loved Rupert the Bear and I seem to remember having one of those soft rubber ones .... or was it the Pink Panther??
Damn and blast my terrible memory! Yours is obviously much better than mine.

Sal.. I got 'Bunty' delivered weekly. I loved it.
