Happy Monday - An adventure - twenty years ago

From some diary notes -

"Richard and I had an adventure tonight. When really it should have been bedtime and it was getting dark,, we crept out and drove to Crosby Civic Hall for a Dinky Toy and Model Train fair. Richard was on his very best behaviour for this adventure and his Snoopy jumper was admired by a girl who collects Snoopy things. Richard bought a model of Batman's friend Robin. I got a Matchbox version of a JPS Lotus. We came back and had a read of Little Miss Tiny in bed before he fell asleep without having a wash, clutching Robin.

What more could a little boy ask from life?"

  1. How nice to have old diaries to remind yourself of the past like this! Does Richard remember the adventure?

  2. Fantastic. I know you've kept diaries on the computer, but hadn't realised you had ones from earlier years too.

  3. Indeed. I bet he had a blissful time.

    My boy was crazy about Batman and we played it for hours.

    He was Batman, the cat was Robin and I was the devious Miss KitKa, alias catwoman!

    Happy days.

  4. Sadly, Librarian, Richard doesn't remember much of his childhood. Ir perhaps he thinks that's a blessing!

    Oh yes, Helen. Lots of ypur adventures /misadventures are on record as well. I bet that somewhere there's a note of a wellington boot sticking in some mud and the owner being somewhat alarmed. (And her cruel Dad laughing - I still feel guilty about that!)

  5. I remember the incident, but not you laughing (should have kept that one to yourself!) What I do remember is you saying it wasn't deep and then me sinking up to my knee!

  6. I wonder which of the boys got the greatest thrill from the expedition!
