one of my fondest memories..
there was a place in the forest, difficult to reach. one needed to be able to walk along a fallen tree over a ravine, and climb a slippery clay embankment, to an old abandoned 4' drainage tunnel that hung over a ledge. a small trickling of water fed the pond 10 feet below kept it alive with critters of the forest.
i would sit inside the entrance, sheltered in that tunnel from the rain, hidden and safe, knowing no one would find me there, spending hours in the peacefulness of the forest.

I had places I used to go that no one knew where they were too. Can't imagine as a kid not having such a place. We were free range kids unlike kids today that helicopter parented.there was a place in the forest, difficult to reach. one needed to be able to walk along a fallen tree over a ravine, and climb a slippery clay embankment, to an old abandoned 4' drainage tunnel that hung over a ledge. a small trickling of water fed the pond 10 feet below kept it alive with critters of the forest.

This will really be dating me but every third Thursday in August, the Sunday School sponsored a bus trip to Coney Island. We cooked all the food the day before and a lot of us ate it on the bus. The rides were great. I went on the Cyclone, the Tornado and the Thunderbolt roller coasters. If you remember the Steeplechase, that was one ride I was scared of falling off. At least the memories are still there.

Oh, my list is long and I really can't choose just one because most of my childhood was chock full of good times. 
A few that stick with me to this day though is exploring the nearby woods, chasing rainbows, dancing outside in fierce thunderstorms, plucking the legs off of daddy long leg spiders, collecting returnable pop bottles to take to the store and getting the cash for candies,.....just to name a few.....good times.

Receiving a straw-filled, humpbacked bear in the post from friends in Germany on my 7th birthday. He's rather worn now, but still the handsomest of all bears.
And my elderly neighbour, Radio 4's Jo Backhouse, long time contributor to Gardener's Question Time, baked me a birthday cake because I was so excited and I'd never had a birthday cake before.
