eau de cologne
afternoon tea and scones
cosy memories
of a gentler time
waiting for a tram
in the rain
we did not own a car
an only child
never lonely
with a little family
of her own
lots of fun in a little dinghy
inspired by Enid Blyton
creative and imaginative games
church
every sunday
hats and gloves
dress up occasion
no ensuite
in our abode
jugs and bowls
for a french wash
getting a typewriter
for my birthday
was very exciting and grown up
i loved mine
i wish i still had it
how could i forget
dear tibby
actually tabby
but with thick accents
in the house
sounded like tibby
vinyl records
rock n roll
tan shoes and pink shoe laces
and a big panama with a purple hat band
happy memories
Sweetly written. This evokes misty memories of what was or perhaps what we hoped life would be.
ReplyDeleteExcept for church, my childhood was much like yours. Delightful to have those memories revived here!
ReplyDeleteRall, Scott has left you a message in the comments at the P&SU post, as he was unable to do so here.
ReplyDeleteAll radiate with the love of home and hearth. ;)
ReplyDeleteLovely makes me feel nostalgic
ReplyDeleteThe first and last stanzas warmed me up inside. I can smell the lavender, taste the scones. Yum! And the last one, well... I, too, love my first typewriter.
