  • HI folks the server that hosts the site completely died including the Hdd's and backups.
    Luckily i create an offsite backup once a week! this has now been restored so we have lost a few days posts.
    im still fixing things at the moment so bear with me and im still working on all images 90% are fine the others im working on now
    we are now using a backup solution

Aston Childhood

Two smashing clips on the Mace link above. Are you in the Christmas clip of 1967? Viv.
 
i agree viv...i have seen them before but the christmas present one takes me back..the presents were so typical of the day especially in larger familys such as mine (6 children) i can still remember the thrill of being given a new item of clothing instead of having to wear second hand or hand me downs...it certainly taught me in later life to be grateful for what we have and dont moan about what we dont have...as kids we all knew the struggle mom and dad had to try and give us what we asked for but we never ever complained if they could not manage it(which was more often than not) as we knew what we did have was given out of love...my four children have been told by me many times just how hard life was back in my day and before that and not one of them has turned out selfish or greedy...quite the opposite...oh and we always had a smashing christmas dinner eaten at the table in front of the coal fire.:)...very happy days and i count my blessings for that because i know full well that not everyone has the wonderful memories i have...my parents always were and always will be my heroes
