I loved the one on planets and of course on horses - but I still have no idea why my parents gave me "Insects"!<br />NeverUschihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092860896306786880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016776795024488755.post-1199355441592028822017-06-05T09:31:38.869-07:002017-06-05T09:31:38.869-07:00I'm not surprised the boys love Lighthouses ar...<br />I'm not surprised the boys love Lighthouses are their trip. They are fascinating things. Ladybird books were the staple diet of British children for years, such wonderful informative books at a reasonable price.<br /><br />I own quite a few as a child and my children did too, now I think we have about three left, amazing what you give away in search of space!<br /><br />Your boys are so true to life ;) <br /><br />And yes the internet is a great place to buy back ones childhood , I've bought a few readers from there.. oh the memories :)Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17421536902399459683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7016776795024488755.post-1790324648505587482017-06-05T07:00:39.573-07:002017-06-05T07:00:39.573-07:00I certainly thought that way as a child.

I said she was very nice, and then after careful consideration I said "I think she's in her early 80's" (she was probably only around 40 at the time!)

I had to have a little giggle about the age of the lighthouse "That's older than Daddy Steve and Daddy John combined!"

But, I've never been inside one and I would love to have that experience. There is something mystical about them and mysterious. Keep studying, boys! PS: I laughed out loud when I read the comment about buying back one's childhood. I've had that experience on eBay. The only disturbing thing is that often the items from my childhood has listed under the "antiques" category!Angelo's Papahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13988340459201968063noreply@blogger.com
