Is there an age or year of your life you would re-live?
For some reason 1976 always features in my memories. It was the year of the heatwave, summer was just how you’d expect it and the six week school holiday was utter bliss.
Things were different back then when you went out and played in parks, woodland and farmers fields, making your own entertainment and just having such fun. Now they are all sprawling estates.
No distractions such as mobile phones etc, you went through seasons of football, marbles, cricket, conkers, making catapults, you name it and we did it.
We had national strikes and power cuts but as a youngster that was still a couple of years away from being a teenager, none of that really mattered.
I sure miss those days of innocence, fun and enjoyment with your mates. Truly superb times.
Then we grow up.
I do believe the younger generation of today have missed out on those hazy days gone by. But then again I guess it’s our generation that changed that.
I have always found it easier to be a child rather than an adult. My wife would whole heartedly agree.
Stay happy. Don’t grow up.
