Did We Have More Fun?

I seem to be feeling a little nostalgic recently. I'm sure it has something to do with Autumn approaching. I was wondering, did children of my generation (born in 1947) have more fun as children than the children of today. These days, they all seem to be on their smart phones, tablets, or X boxes etc., and sometimes they seem to be in a virtual world of their own.

When I was a little girl, I can remember that I used to love being out in the open air!  I used to spend hours playing with my friends. Who else remembers the following activities?!  








We seemed to use our imagination so much more when I was a child as well.  Do you agree, or am I just getting old?!  Don't get me wrong, I love keeping up with all the new Technology - having three grandchildren, I think it is very important for me to do that, and I love it when they show me how to play certain games on their Tabkets, although, for some reason, I just can't seem to get the hang of Minecraft! 

Another activity I used to love during the Summer months, was making dens!  I'm delighted to say that, when we were over in France a while ago, the whole family helped to make a den in the forest for Eli and Ruby, and they absolutely loved it. Proving, once again, that the simplest things often bring the greatest pleasure.
