I had a very happy childhood with all my grand-parents close by, good neighbours and friends who I'm still in contact with today on a regular basis. My parents both worked though luxuries were few and far between. At Xmas there was one present -not a list of things, mum made most of our clothes herself, sewing and knitting but we had memorable holidays camping and i remember her buying one thing every week to put away in the trailer for the holidays, tins of this and that and other stuff.
Most free time was spent out of doors playing with friends and we roamed quite free and without any cares. I would gladly return to those days and wouldn't swap the childhood I had with a present day one. Perhaps it's the rose-tinted glasses of time making everything seem perfect but i do really remember it that way.
I honestly can't remember ever being discontented or vaguely unhappy.
