I was just talking to me mam on Sunday about that boxing gloves thing. And the time I tied you to the washing line post in the garden and left you while I went in for me dinner. And that time, for a reason I will never know, we pretended I was hanging you from our bannister while you stood on a chair and I whipped the chair away. :oops:
Hedge-hopping.
I remember the action men and also hoying sods of grass and bricks at them in Lee Whitworth's back garden.
Ronnie Savage.
Igloos in the Scotts' front garden.
The Lowther Rovers.

Can't go back. Can't go back.

Camping out at Finchale Abbey at summer time, (never rained in those days) and feeling a girls tits for the 1st time in the tent.

Have lots, but here's just one. The Spitting Bridge over the dene in Roker Park (not the stadium). The name says it all. It took two of you, one hanging over the west side to shout "now" and one over the east side to spit.

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.
