Free as a bird💕

Free as a bird💕

“Over the garden wall I let my baby fall, my Mother came out and gave me a clout, over the garden wall” 

Eeh this little picture takes me right back to my early days.. I can actually remember kids queuing up in a line inbetween their turn delays

Oh what laughter and fun there used to be.. haha tossing each other to that chant up above...lovely memories for me ..

I find it very strange that children these days never play outside .. I was never in the house when a tiny tot, running locally far and wide

We had our regular haunts of course but when October came around.. we’d ‘Penny for the guy’ and hunt for bonfire rubbish that could be found

Our ‘Guy Fawkes’ street fire was the biggest in our town.. coz the rebels in our street used to burn the others down

But that was such a long time ago tho I often go back to those chilhood days.. we were so young and carefree, free as a bird in lots of ways

wonderful poem
12- 13 would 
play out intill
it got dark 
in the summer 
winter it was alway 
cold out but if you were
dressed right you still
could play out
