Hammer and Nails and lots of Fun

This picture brings back many happy memories of my childhood in the 50's. We spent so much time outside from morning to night, not hanging around the TV or computers as children do today.

I spotted this roughly made play area in some bushes near a large modern housing estate and it looks like the kids have had a great time with some wood, a few nails and a hammer. We did the same sort of thing, making great things to climb and to play on, great times.

Thank you for all the kind words and FAV's for my gull yesterday, much appreciated. Will get round to all your pics soon, Forest Green Rovers have just made history by being the first club in our National League to win all their first 8 matches. I'm chuffed to bits, now my work starts tonight.
Wonderful capture. Fav. Another win for the mighty Greens and a new record.

Super find and capture. We used to disappear for hours when I was a child, only turning up when we were hungry. I think parents these days would have a fit
