So let me dig into my memories...

Many years ago (and please all religious people don't get upset with me.)

I lived in a small town of about 65 people.  I used to think it was 75 until my dad corrected me.

Anyway my cousins and some family friends of theirs came to stay with us for a week or so..  And we as kids decided to go out and find some fun.. They being city kids and I the country kid, did not know what to do with them. Being that I believe at the time I was only 10.  It was the kind of place where the whole town was your back yard and you only had to worry about strangers during the hunting season, and long weekends.

Anyway we broke into the church that got used once in a blue moon when Father Micheal would come up and decide to give a service.   We played the organ, my cousin, her friend and I got locked in the confessional box by the boys who got a good laugh out of it...

When we got home my parents and theirs were all asking us, what were you doing in the church... Of course we all lied and said we were not... then they said you were playing the organ.. Well we could not deny that...  We could not figure out how they heard..  Well we lived in a valley and the noise traveled from the bottom of the hill to the top.

I believe we got grounded...

My best childhood memory would have to be climbing Ayers Rock (Uluru)  in the Northern Territory. I was 8 at the time and OMG it is a long climb. This was in the days when you could camp at the base of the rock. We spent time with the local aboriginals and have some of their artwork at home that was a gift to us. they also showed my brother (9 at the time) how to make clap sticks and helped him to make a set of his own. they also took us out one evening and we ended up following dingoes. It was such a great holiday.

These are some of the shows I used to watch as a little girl.

Smurfs, The Snorks, Rainbow Brite, Glow Bugs, My little pony and Friends, Care Bears.

There were many more and I wish they would all come back!  I remember they were all pretty good too.

Oh, Sesame Street and Playschool were big faves too!  And now they are my  girls faves!

I can't remember them exactly, but I can remember bits and pieces of all the houses I have lived in.  Good and bad memories.  When I look a photos of my child hood, I can remember them more.

I love houses and I guess this is why I remember them so well.

never forget mum cooking the roast on a sunday and putting the joint of pork on the table and when her back was turned dad use to pinch the crackling of the pork and blame me for it lmao my god dad was so funny always had me on my toes lmao  

For me we did a lot of camping and holidaying ,so for me I remember camping and fishing with my family,I myself have four children so my husband and I are now creating memories for our children ,as we bought a caravan and we go for little weekends away camping at different places and our children are loving it too.Christmas was always a great time for us too ,although we did not have a lot of money our parents always made it special for us but our camping trips were part of christmas too.

I have so many...   So I'll just tell this one...  

there were about 10 kids maybe a couple more in my school.. And the play yard backed up onto a hill and a dirt trail... Anyway at the end of each play time the teacher used to ring the bell.. One day we all went up bush and he could not find us, but we all got scared he'd ring our parents so we ran back after 10 minutes.. LOL

I was born in England. I remember a particularly cold snowy day where my Mum wrapped us up in a long scarf she had. One end went around my sister, my mum in the middle and me on her other side. We went out walking together in the snow all tied together with this huge long scarf.
