Text
We didn't have a lot of toys. We spent as much time as possible playing outside. I do remember a spinning top and a blackboard and easel, which came with a carton of coloured chalk. One of the best presents I remember was when my brother and I got watches for Christmas. We were the only boys of our age to have them.
