My children are all but one in secondary school, frankly quite boring independent and want to do their own thing. I find myself almost grieving for their childhoods, looking back through photos and remembering the good times etc.
To get to the point I have become very nostalgic about my own childhood and I am searching up some of my old toys on ebay As they are now considered vintage they are prohibitively expensive.
Some of the things I have lovely memories attached to are:
Lights Alive
Keypers
Sweet Secrets
Diary Milk dispenser thingys at Christmas
Gloworm
Just yesterday I got this sudden flashback to a swimming bag I had in primary school, it was transparent PVC, from Primark and had a beach scene on the front with liquid for the sea (you could squish the liquid IYKWIM) and a plastic beach ball. At the time it was so amazing and I loved it so much that I even stapled the seams together when they split Does anyone know what this type of bag is called (with the liquid inside) I spent ages googling but haven't been able to find it.
My nostalgia is mostly related to items, but what are your items/experiences that make you nostalgic about your own childhood?
