Hi can’t think of any fun discussions at the moment but I have come up with this. Are any of you willing to share anything of your good childhood memories? Me one of my best memories was going to Disney world Orlando Florida. My parents took me when I was 10 years old I remember flying from London Gatwick long car journey down but we spent the night at the Hilton hotel somewhere in London and we went for a meal in the harvester. I remember a very long flight to the states and crossing the Atlantic Ocean. I remember asking my mum how long till we get there and how big is the Atlantic and she said it’s the biggest ocean in the world. I know it’s the percific now lol. I loved every moment of being at Disney. Then when I was 15 my parents said we were going to Scotland for Easter half term but then things got confusing. The caravan was having a service done and the dogs went into kennels. My dad said they had rented a cottage that wasn’t dog friendly I thought ok that’s believable. Then we got a taxi to the coach station and I asked why aren’t we driving up my dad said it was to long a drive also believable. Then I seen the tickets and it said to Gatwick so I asked my mum why are we going there she said we were getting another coach to Scotland I should have thought why are we travelling from wales to London to go up to Scotland but I chose to believe her. As the coach left at 5 in the morning my parents told me where we actually going Orlando again and I just screamed with excitement. I love Disney and I’ve been there 4 times twice with my parents and then once on my own after working in Minnesota at a summer camp and once with 2 girls I worked with at summer camp last year. Feel free to share any of your happy childhood memories.
Every summer I went to stay with my grandparents in Cornwall for two weeks as they lived too far away to see at other times. They were the only people other than my parents I felt comfortable staying with. My grandad made things with wood so often made me things to play with. Most afternoons we went somewhere in the car mostly to quiet beaches or coastal walks. My grandad showed me my first adder. I loved listening to stories of things he got up to as a child with his brothers. They had a record player set in a big wooden piece of furniture with storage for records below. I enjoyed choosing records to play and often they would put a record on for me to listen to whilst I went to sleep.
At home I enjoyed playing in my child's tent or making things for my dolls.
