November 17, 20241 yr I think we all know our kids, what they capable of and what they don't. Some kinds love sitting on their bums and draw pictures, some loves football, some loves bike some other things. I rather not to think about black case scenarios. I'm curious, how many memories do you have of being 6 years old? I have one.

November 18, 20241 yr I could find a few not a lot but more than one I remember loads about when i was 6 years old. It's easy for me to remember because we moved house when I was 7 years old: Swimming in isleworth swimming pool Watching superman matinees at the cinema in Isleworth. We had to use a bus to get there The steam trains going under the bridge in Hounslow Road and the lizzard I saw on the embankment next to the bridge, and the wild logan berries there too. Paddling in the paddling pool off Hounslow Rd (now gone) Fishing for sticklebacks (red breasters) and gudgeon in Crane Park Getting stung by a wasp's nest in Crane park Getting chased by the park keeper Going to the Cubs in my friend's dad's sidecar My dad's BSA C11 and his Hillman sidevalve sit up and beg car with the registration DJH 999 that failed its 10 year test, so went to the scrap heap. When did they stop the ten year test? Roller skating in Lyndhurst Avenue Making a camp in the garden and meeting the hedgehog during the night The rasberry patch in the garden My dad's 22 rifle, which I took up the street to show my friend getting my first fishing rod for my 7th birthday My friend's tricycle that had a boot My friend's go-kart that his dad made him which had lights, a horn and a steering wheel instead of a rope Helping the milkman deliver milk in my street and getting a chocolate Mikky for it Stabbing a pupil with a dip pen outside the school because he was waiting there every night to bully me for some reason Mrs Wills the school headteacher Getting asked to read to the headmistress because I was doing it so well The scary hawksmoth caterpillars in the privet hedge outside the school Using a candle to wax the slide in the park next to the school and loads more.

I remember that at age of 6 once I stole a cigarette from my dad
November 18, 20241 yr My first memory is at 3 when my cousin (also 3) was moving to South Africa ; saying goodbye in our back garden and being told it would be a long time before I saw her again. (Return trips from South Africa weren't very common in 1950)
