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

ReplyDeleteI enjoyed all your memories, and could strongly relate to several. It was SO nice to be reminded of the tan shoes and pink carnation, and the big panama with the purple hat band!
I enjoyed reading your childhood toys and make believes. The boat reminded me of mine, an empty bottle that floated a while after a rain. It went to far away places for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful post!!!! So many milestones, more than several we share. I would SO have enjoyed an afternoon tea with you way back then, Rall.
ReplyDeleteI love this flow of happy thoughts - especially the typewriter and the writing journey it started - Jae
ReplyDeleteOh how delightful to go with you through memory lane and what a fine one it was
ReplyDeleteI love the cute only child with her own family. I think I probably played similar games.
ReplyDeleteit was nice to have a glimpse of your life. It was like going through the pages of a read-out-loud-book with such imagery.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely lovely. Memories are so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading about your memories. Lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful and exciting post. I am a baby boomer, 69 years young, and I really enjoyed reading about your memories and the poem and illustrations are fantastic. Warm greetings from Montreal, Canada ❤️ 😊 🇨🇦
