Hi Phil,
It gives me the horrors to realise just how much things have changed since our childhood. I was born in 1960, in Australia, which was probably even a bit more 'behind' in having to lock the doors etc. We used to live near a river and we spent our summers trekking around, not telling anyone where we were heading. We had to be home by 'tea time' or 'lunch time' and that was the only rule.
I could write a tome here about those wonderful days, but I won't! One thing though, I wonder how the lack of freedom that we had affects our kids. We have three children and they don't really get much 'alone' time...do you know what I mean? Ah well, I want to write more and tell you about my glorious childhood, my fingers are itching to keep typing and typing!! he he...tell me a bit about the things you remember and I will as well...ok bye for now,
Deb.
