Funny you mentioned skylarks, I always associate their sound with playing out in the fields (that used to exist round ours) in the summer.

I always seem to remember the curtains in my bedroom. They were purple and white with a strange paisley cum floral pattern in them, I would stare at them for hours when I was ill, seeing all these weird patterns.

walking home from trips to crimdon or durham through the countryside on a hot summers day, crackin times

Bob of that ilk brought the European cup back to Hetton one of the time Liverpool won it and I remember holding it :)

Getting a clip round the lug off your mother for getting tar on your trousers from playing on the kerbside with lolly sticks and tar that had melted under the red hot summer sun.

Walking for miles on a Sunday evening with my Dad before he went to the club knowing there would be a stop at the Olde Sweet Shop- Whickham as we got nearer home.

Chips on a Saturday, only day we didn't have a dinner.

Having none of adult life's worries.

:( never thought about those things for dozens of years.

That would be after eating a ream of A4 paper soaked in LSD for a week.
