Morning all, weather is awful, very wet and the wind is picking up. As always, Christmas brings back memories of my childhood, getting old I suppose, well there’s no suppose about it! Anyway, the ”big“ present, the one I asked Father Christmas for, over the years included a scooter, roller skates and one year a bride doll. I had long admired one in the toy shop in town, I knew she could never be mine, she was very expensive but I would have been happy with any “bride” doll. It must have near bankrupted my parents but, as you may have guessed, Father Christmas came up trumps and there she was, Cindy, the doll of my dreams. This year the present most coveted by grandkids 3 & 4 was an Air Up water bottle. For those who don’t know, it’s a bottle with scented pods which makes plain water “taste”. I have never seen two girls be so thrilled with what is, in fact, a bottle of tap water or drink so much of the stuff! I still have my Cindy doll, I bet they don’t have those bottles in 60+ years , I’ll give them six months.lol
Have a good day, all.
