See-saw
I had one proper holiday in England while I lived there. My parents had arrived from the Netherlands and were going to travel through England to see a bit more than just where I lived. So, I had packed the car and off we went, staying in youth hostels along the way. We always tried to find the ones with the funniest names and I think the one we stayed in here was one called Woody's Top, somewhere in Norfolk or Lincolnshire.
In the garden of this school turned youth hostel was a swing and this see-saw. So my mother and I climbed on and seeed and sawed to our hearts content. My dad looked on and took this photo. Ah, good memories...

Oh I love this. Its a precious memory. I'm glad your Dad photographed it. Perfect post for the letter S.
ReplyDeleteThis is something that I loved to do when I was a youngster. What a great picture of you and your mother, and wasn't it great that Dad was there with the handy little camera to preserve the fun-filled moment in time.
ReplyDeleteI remember seesaws! I never see them any more, though.
ReplyDeleteI love this! I used to love see-sawing as a kid and then would never hesitate to get on with my own children or grandchildren.
ReplyDeleteBill Cosby once described the seesaw as a way to kill off the kids and making a kid an accomplice. You push down, you get off...

Don't pay any attention to Roger. As much as I love Bill Cosby, this is bad advice. LOL
ReplyDeleteAs has already been said, it's great that your dad got a picture of you and your mom having fun. It's something I can remember my mother doing when we were kids, and when my brother Rob was a kid, and she probably did it with the grandchildren, too.
A picture to be cherished, this one!

There used to be see-saws in every park. Hard to find now; I think they were pretty much banned because of safety issues. Boy they were fun.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet photo. I haven't been on one in years.
ReplyDeleteLots of nostalgia going down on certain blogs lately. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and a trip down Memory Lane for you Mara. Good choice.
