Playtime


Playing games,
Streetgames,
Learning the rules,
Making them up,
Making do,
With next to nothing.

A new exhibition:
Foundling Voices.
Fascinating,
Oral history.
Then, 
In those conditions.

Back in time we go,
Memories
Flooding back:
Clapping, chasing, conkers - catch me if you can...
Enjoy,
This trip down memory lane!



Games from the past,
To play,
To pass on,
To your children,
Let's not forget...

  1. A beautiful post, I'm hoping to get to the Foundling Voices exhibition very soon, one of the 'voices' is my next door neighbour!
