There were some great plays on the radio in those days. Had to listen well and visualise. Cocoa and toast on the coals - you have certainly brought back some memories for me, Margaret. Long walks with my nature-loving dad, when I was small he would carry me on his shoulders for miles. Blackberry-picking, and eating them all on the way home - so no blackberry pie!

You have hit the nail on the head - parents giving their time, and quality time at that.

Before I started school I could play most card games - thanks to my dad teaching me these.
We didn't need a lot of money - no latest gadgets to buy to keep up with the Joneses. They didn't have any money either!!!!!
