Nostalgia

DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN
Lying on your back in the grass with your
friends and saying things like, 'That cloud
looks like a .....'
Playing cricket with no adults to help the
children with the rules of the game.
Bottles came from the corner shop without
safety caps and hermetic seals because no
one had yet tried to poison a perfect
stranger.

And with all our progress, dont you wish, just once, you could slipback in time and savour the slower pace, and share it with children of today.



When being sent to the headmaster's study was nothing compared to the fate that awaited the students at home.
