Going out after breakfast in the holidays and playing with the other children in road .The road we lived in had lots children of various ages and the the four of us all had friends of our age although we did at times all play together thinking about it there must have been more than twenty of in total. We played football, rounders, cricket plus all things we had done at school sports day rode our bikes round the block, made bonfires and a Guy in the October Half term plus games we made up using our imagination. We only went in Mum shouted us in for lunch and then we were back out again oh happy days.
Another was packing the car for holidays as my Mum came from Glasgow every other year we went to Scotland and spent holidays with my Auntie,Uncle and their four children on the coast somewhere,the journey used to take forever as this was pre motorway and as my Dads sense of direction was hopeless we always went round at least three rounderbouts at least twice as he always missed the turn off the four of us used to guess how many
times this would happen I think the most of seven. As we always went in August and at that time new cars were registered that month to pass time the game was to see who could spot the most new cars.
I now know this was try and keep us quiet for some of the journey.
I think I had better stop now or I could be here all day
