Excellent You can’t beat the old books and it’s stroll down memory lane…I didn’t have much in way of books as a child. But I remember loving Enid blyton at primary school and history books,especially one the mummies in Egypt (I mustve caught my dads interests) I was 17/18 when I caught the reading bug and I soon filled my wall cupboard- enjoying a quiet corner and comfy chair. I was strongly into bird watching and learning about the species so I got a number of books,including lovely stories on nature- remember the surname Boag- who was quite prominent in bird watching and nature related subjects.i joined a ramblers club,a naturalists club and the rspb and subscribed to a few magazines too. This was my enjoyment in my teens and twenties- panning out a bit due to hospital shift work,I never lost my appetite for reading until the last few years,it became a physical struggle. I am trying to look into audiobooks etc currently. Xx
@@uglenddalejones2 I went to see Tutankhamen in the seventies in London along with the jade man, I still have the evening standard newspaper from that time.I used to love audio books depending on the narrator.I did not know you nursed.xxx🐝🐝🐝
@@joyofthings oh now,I do love to hear about it… I believe Tutankhamen came through London last year for the final time- gutted I couldn’t go,I’ve always wanted to. But yes,I think he was nearing his last journey through the world and going back to Egypt- back home permanently I believe. So,it was quite significant…a last chance. My dad was fascinated with tut as well- coincidentally,he was born the year the tomb was discovered- how about that… Yes,I did 25 yrs. absolutely loved it and gave my all. An arrest on the floor,did my back and I never recovered. Tried everything including seven months in the hospital physio pool,machines,acupuncture,spinal injections it just wouldn’t give me enough improvement to go back to nursing so they retired me and I was fortunate enough to go back on my bank contract but not nursing- sadly proved too much being on my feet- just too much pain and spasms. Defeated me which is very ironic as 18yrs was in stroke and neuro rehab slash medical.this is eleven years ago now xxx
I think I’ve said it before, but I really do love these glimpses into your day - I really felt as though I was with you, popping out into the garden! What a flower! Gorgeous. The Paper Dolls story is one of my absolute favourite children’s stories - and how lovely to find Wind in the Willows illustrated by John Burningham! I remember when you went to that exhibition.
@@mousiemakespod it means such a lot, it makes me feel valued.If I have things to share I just do it.Raw footage not very professional but it’s me.Thankyou once again Helen we both love the value of books.xxxxxxx🐝🐝🐝🐝
That red flower is quite beautiful and vibrant. I always wanted a hedgehog as a kid. I wish more people were into the unions where I'm from, people being against them is odd. I think my hair may get stuck on the charms of those hair bands. Chronicles of Narnia are great books. Do you think she would like the BFG? I enjoyed Roald Dahl growing up, my mom probably got all his books at a yard sale or something. 😂 Mouse and the mushroom as quite nice.
