Memories

Do certain smells bring back memories for you? Maybe a flower, or a perfume, or the smell of a certain food cooking? If so, can you share one such memory? Lavender always makes me think of my aunties, they used to wear that perfume when I was young. My favourite flower is a rose. TheyContinue reading “Memories”

Things I Miss

Growing up in the seventies, I was used to a more simpler way of life. Back in the days when there were no computers, unless they were in a school office, no mobile phones and no internet. How did we all survive? I miss the life when we weren’t all consumed with our technical devices,Continue reading “Things I Miss”

Sink or Swim

This week’s throwback Thursday post from https://lssattitudeofgratitude.wordpress.com/author/lssattitudeofgratitude/ is about learning to swim. When I was about five, I got pushed in the swimming pool by two boys. I couldn’t swim. Luckily, I was pulled out of the pool, but learning to swim frightened me after that. I didn’t like swallowing the water, or not beingContinue reading “Sink or Swim”

I have an Boo, Boo

How did your family take care of minor injuries? With a lot of love, and the magic kiss to make it better. I grew up when you didn’t complain about the little things. There was always a grazed knee, or a bruise, where you ran about like a mad person bumping into things. Did youContinue reading “I have an Boo, Boo”

Role Model – For Throwback Thursday

My role model, growing up, was my dad. He was an amazing father, who never stopped listening to me. If I needed someone to talk to, he was there. No problem was too small for him. He was never afraid to show his emotional side, and I remember him saying ”If you cry at something,Continue reading “Role Model – For Throwback Thursday”

Throwback Thursday #24 – Commercials and Jingles

Thank you Maggie for your brilliant prompts. There have been times when commercials have been better than the actual films and series on television. Especially in the summer, where producers don’t even care and will put on repeat, after repeat, after repeat. One of my favourite commercials is the instant mash – Aliens laughing asContinue reading “Throwback Thursday #24 – Commercials and Jingles”

For Throwback Thursday

Think back to the time you were deciding on what your environment should look like. Did you get to decorate your bedroom as a kid, or did Mom and Dad make all the decisions? This week, I’d like you to think back to when you decorated your own space. It could be a bedroom atContinue reading “For Throwback Thursday”

For Throwback Thursday

Did you, or did you collect every piece of art your children/grandchildren ever made? I did, and at one point had a whole cupboard full of them, until my Mother-in-law said it was way too much, so instead I took a few and put them in a scrap book. Every now and then I willContinue reading “For Throwback Thursday”

Thanks to #Throwback Thursday

This week’s prompt TV memories I remember when I was younger sitting in front of the television watching my favourite shows. I loved things like Chips, Doctor Who, and my favourite Starsky and Hutch. It was small, but a colour TV, and had three channels. At twelve o’clock the test card picture was only shown.Continue reading “Thanks to #Throwback Thursday”
