November Journaling Challenge

@bestcee At what age up to are we considering a child? Under 12, 15 etc or is it up to our own interpretation

 

ok back to the drawing board then....think I will go down a non photo page instead and leave the story I was going to tell for something else instead

 

My childhood is a bit of a blur - there are a few photos and some slides that my Dad took. I remember that I was loved by Granny and GrandPa. I would walk home from school and there was always something to eat, card games to play, rock buns to bake and enjoy. They were both chain smokers, so there would always be a ciggie hanging from their fingers and swirls of smoke rising from copious ashtrays. Just before 4pm the kettle was boiled so that the tea could draw and I would listen to Jet Jungle and other children’s shows on the wireless. At 4pm Granny would listen to her daily women’s variety programme. I never found that interesting and would prefer to colour in or draw. My Mom came home after work at 5pm and we would walk over the field to the flat we lived in. It was very convenient that everything was close by. the flat, the shops, the school, her work. We walked everywhere, as she couldn’t drive. Once I was 10, I got a bicycle and would ride to school. We also didn’t have our own tv and would visit Granny and GrandPa to watch Chopper one and Bonanza.

 

I have done it....will add it here as soon as I am able to (it uses a SOSN product for this coming week)

Fun challenge. Thanks for hosting, Courtney. Mine

 

Well this is perfect timing! We are cleaning out my parents’ home right now and I have a zillion topics, photos of things that need to be scrapped, etc. I’ll be back!

 

Here's mine:

 

journaling (please excuse my grammar mistakes)
I still remember the camera my family had when I was a child. It was the simplest Kodak model, with film in a "cassette" and extra flash. While now I do appreciate its vintage design, back then I just hated how simple and cheap it was. I've always dreamt of a fancy camera with lens. I don't think anyone around us owned such a camera. Actually, I don't even remember anyone else taking photos; only my parents did. Back then you'd take one photo, and you'd knew it was a good one. You'd had to wait a fair amount of time to get the print, but it was worth it. Now, that cellphone cameras are on everyone's hands, you take 10 photos of the same thing, and you end up with 10 blurry photos of the same thing! Funny, isn't it? #not

 

I didn't count, but it's more than 30. Yes, that's me!
