    I've not...

    I've not rambled for a while...so here goes, I'm putting it on this page just in case they're not updating the o/t board, hopefully it'll get read...and enjoyed...?...question mark not really needed...either enjoy, or ignore.

    When I lived in Bedford, I would have my sons most weekends, I was divorced and my ex worked in a hospital, so my weekends just couldn't have been better, most of the weekends were spent playing sport in the park.

    I was always skint back then, was in full time employment but things were a struggle.

    Some time on Sunday evening I would walk the lads back home, perhaps 1+ mile, we'd chat and talk about football usually, often, to pass the time we'd find a nice pebble to kick along the pavement and see how long we could keep it going without it going onto the road, goodness forbid it pinging off a car!
    if it did perchance go into the gutter edge we' try to flick it back onto the pavement, better still was if there was some sort of bottle cap, like the ones you get

    re: I've not...

    Great story Ray.

    The seemingly little things in life (like kicking a pebble down the road) are the one's that always seem to stick in your memory more than anything.

    And yeah, even dog poo...Although you never see any white dog sh!te now eh..

    Will never forget such things as "Tarzie" swings down the cut (canal) and going bommy collecting..and making "Bobby" arrows out of sticks of cane and playing cards for flights, than a shoes lace to wrap round it and sling it as far as we could get it...Boy did those things travel...God knows how we didn't kill anyone cos we'd sharpen the bottom to a fine point so they'd stick in grass..

    Playing footy on the school field til 10 O'Clock at night in the summer..Plus hundreds of other stuff...

    You don't see kids doing owt like that now days...Too busy on their PS 4's and top of the range I Phones...

    Memories eh Ray...Some bad un's along the way but plenty of good un's as well.

    Take care mate.

    Have agree, I used love skimming pebbles when I was younger, The satisfaction of getting it to bounce 6 - 7 times is awesome.

    Parents once took all the family for a day out in Clifton Park when i was about ten.

    Whilst walking back to my family after going to the loo, a large group of people were playing cricket, one of them hit the ball really high in my direction and without stopping I caught the ball and casually threw it back to them.

    All the cricketers started cheering and one lady ran up to me and swung me around. I can't ever remember being so proud of myself as I walked back to my family.
