P.P AND co
Suddenly today I remembered two things from my childhood.
First, train rides from Jhb to Pretoria and back. For no reason other than my Dad liking train rides!
Second, Sunday afternoon drives to nowhere in particular. That was pre-TV days so perhaps my parents were bored, or had the Sunday blues? I wonder if people still do this nowadays? With the cost of petrol I doubt it!

She looks like that Ursula witch from Little mermaid !
I used to ride my BMX all over the streets as a young boy
I grew up in Observatory in JHB , so I rode all over - to Cyrildene and even down to Bruma regularly
No pads or helmet I am ashamed to admit
I don’t think that type of freedom exists today, sadly
@Silver Funny just your mention of Cyrildene and all kinds of childhood memories surface!
Don't be ashamed of not wearing pads and a helmet - I don't think any kids did in those days!
Thanks @Hooked
Yes, those were the days. I have such fond memories too. Amazing how the memories get fonder the older I get. In those days I didn’t think much of it.
As for helmets and pads - I was lucky I didn’t have any bad falls. A few scrapes here and there but thankfully nothing too serious.
Ironically, much later when I became a keen cyclist in my twenties, I fell off with a helmet and broke my collar bone and a few other injuries. Nothing like that happened when I was a lightie without protection. Haha
Any one remember Ding bats ?
This one is for the oldies! I had one of these! Who else did?
I didn’t have one Rob but I remember that pattern. I think my parents had such a mattress back in the day!

And one could buy glittery stickers which were pasted on the top right hand corner, or in the midde, to distinguish your book from everyone elses. But this was at primary school and we definitely didn't have thick books like those in the pic above.
We still own one
our Ridgies use it for their bed, not that they ever sleep on their own bed mind you!
