I love to reminisce about days of old, childhood memories, games, excursions and random events. I do think I drive CBC mad with this sometimes, he hears the same story about 10 times (and I am not the most succinct person!), as he frequently reminds me! It is a family trait- we all do it! (again, CBC tells me)
But I thought I'd invite you to share some of your random childhood happy reminiscences with me- if you would like to do a
guest post about it, that'd be great!!! Just leave your e-mail address in the comments box and I will contact you about it! I thought it would be lovely to have a sort of 'oral history' (typed up in blogger) project relating to our childhood. Perhaps we could put a decade/era etc.
For example, I was reading of Lakota's child-labour pursuits (children picking plums and this prompted slightly mortified memories of cow-manure amongst other things.) We had an allotment during my childhood years which I helped on during many an evening and weekend. My Mum was always keen on compost and extra nutrition for the plants. So it was terribly-terribly embarassing on occasions where we had gone out for the day, perhaps with my dear grandparents, that a pile of manure (often farmers offer it free) was sited which mean free-nutrients for the plants but "Oh-my-Goodness,we-have-POO-in-the-car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" for me! I totally understand NOW as an adult, that it was a good thing- but at the time- eeeeeeek!
I never forget the one time we saw a MASSIVE heap of horse manure and my Mum had some bin-bags in the boot which she duly filled- ahrgh!
Anyway, so if you would like to share some particular childhood memory, or something, do let me know!
I might also start a linkie thing for it too, if anyone can tell me how to add one of those funky inlinkz thingies?!
I'm probably going to be away from my computer for a couple of days, so do let me know and I will get back to you! Tell me if you'd like to guest post.
