Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[..lay a little egg for me]

I used to have a knitted Clanger & a Soup Dragon, who I loved

I wish I still had them now,actually

 

A friend of mine has a child who has been watching the Clangers and loving it. Not sure whether it was on TV or DVD. Anyway, my friend went to her local wool shop and little Alice spotted a knitted Clanger there. She wanted to take it home, of course. The lady said it had been her daughter's and that Alice couldn't take it home but that she thought she still had the pattern. Went off and found the pattern, so my friend got the wool and knitted one for her daughter...it is now her favourite toy. I could ask her for the pattern if you like??

Shall we see if we can get The Clangers on DVD Sarah?

 

OH bought me one last Christmas.

 

My mum made my brother and I Clangers but as we only had a black and white telly she thought they were grey!!

 

Does anyone remember Poggles Wood?

[MedusA]

Sorry. Only just noticed this thread. I think I can admit to remembering all the things on the original list.

 

I was fascinated by white dog poo.

I remember the name and probably that Oliver Postgate (who did a lot of kids' programmes) did the voices. Can't remember much else though![tries to look for a scratching head smily!]

Anyone have a bubbly swimming cozzie?

 

And plastic sandals in brown from Woolworths, a bargain at two and sixpence, long before anyone had heard of jelly shoes or Crocs.

 

Egluntine - you know i did - a blue one!

[Seagazer]

A rag and bone man with a horse and cart went down my road the other day - that brought back memories. I must say its the only one I've seen for years.

[gooner.girl]

Question from a youngster here Why was dog poo white?!

[AnnieP]

Because dogs ate bones in those days

Me too! Mine was a tasteful *cough* Tangerine colour. What was my mother thinking???

[AnnieP]

Oh! And me! And a swimming hat of course. Couldn't possibly get the hair wet....

[Egluntyne]

Oh! And me! And a swimming hat of course. Couldn't possibly get the hair wet....

 

With a strap under the chin! Agony to drag on and off.....and a funny smell.

 

Lesley...my cozzie was blue too. I'm sure there is a pic of me wearing standing by a sandcastle somewhere.

[Lesley]

.....and they fill with water and when you emerge from the sea the cozzie is hanging around your knees

 

I've got a photo somewhere as well.......

[AnnieP]

That's why I never learnt to swim until I was a teenager then!

[Cinnamon]

I remeber my mum crocheting me a bikini when I was a girl.

It was brown with orange flowers

 

And she used to make me these little tops out of a triangle of fabric which tied around the neck & waist.

[AnnieP]

Yep! I had those too. Couldn't imagine anything more awful than seeing me in one fo those creations now....

How could I forget Hannibal Hayes and Kid Curry. Even as a very very young girl, I used to over Pete Duel. I think that he committed suicide - very sad!
