I Remember When

I remember when sewing machines were powered by a treadle not electricity 

I've still got a Singer machine with a handle, keep it as a spare...

Our Mum's made all our clothes and we learnt to make them too.

My Mum's post war wedding outfit was a coat tailored from an army blanket. Luckily it was dark brown, not khaki. 

I remember when newspapers were kept in the toilet, and they weren't for reading !

 I remember skipping my 3d bus fare and buying an ice lolly with the ill gotten gains!

We had 3d for the Sunday school collection, but for some it was difficult to pass the sweet shop run in the front room of a local house by an elderly lady who sold sweets from jars every day of the week.

I remember when my skin didn't look like it needed ironing  

I  remember  when  these  stairs  were  not  so  steep  or  long  gasp

I remember when we were kids living in a Pre-Fab having ice on the inside our ourl windows.

Me too.

 And on the inside of the car windows too !!
