The other weekend when Annie Mouse stayed we danced, drank, laughed but above all we shopped. Hey that is what fellow 70steens do!!
I featured on here that we took a trip down memory lane and posted about the Double Deckers (a big favourite of ours) amongst others, following her visit.
I was big into ponys and horse riding as an early teen/pre teen but had to give it up as the lessons were cripplingly expense for mum (I do remember having a huge tantrum as maybe younger than a teen, where I was told I couldn't have a horse & could not get my head around why I couldn't keep one in the shed and garden!!)
So I had to be content in watching programmes about them.
That brings me to another favourite that Annie pointed out was 'Follyfoot Farm' (she made reference of it in my comments box). Even now 30 odd years later I can still sing along... yes OK out of tune but when did that ever stop me lol!!
I had such a huge crush on Steve Hodge ~ Steve
The girl fancied Steve but it never quite happened.... this next clip has a write up 'Steve & Dora never quite made it'
Bearing in mind I have no speakers just now .. it is a big trust on featuring this You Tube clip!!!!!

Follyfoot didn't quite make it over here ... but I do remember being banished to camp for several weeks one summer crossing the Rockies on horseback ... cured me of any romantic horsey delusions!
i have just sent you the words for white horses.
you were singing that in your drunken state the other weekend.
i've just bought a magpie book for 49p.
tNb~ thank you for clearing a 'teen fantasy..... riding on horse back across the plains not a care in the world... I reckon you are describing the bicycle experience I posted over at Nursies lol :-)
do you know what i liked best about dora, well now anyway, her feather cut i had one just like it. i would love that hair cut now.
mine looked somewhat grown out but do you remember my school photo.
Annis Mouse- yes I know you sent White Horses 'let me ride away tra la la' but I have stored that for a future post .. shushhhh maybe no one will notice
Magpie!! have you sourced a cheaper T-shirt yet for me :-)
Is your scanner working yet???
Annie ~ I have been looking for that photo and can't find it in my awful filing system but do recall that both of us had 'bad' feather cuts and even worse dogs hind leg partings .... send me again it and I will post us both (disguised of course to protect the innocent!!)
you can rest in the fact that the song on the follyfoot love tangle was ok. betcha by golly wa your one that i've been waiting for forever.that was the song. you know the one don't you if you want i can sing it for you.
no boss i haven't but i will get on to it. i could make you one myself as we made the son a games one at christmas, what can be cheaper than that. daughter draws it i put it on the special paper and bobs your uncle fannies your aunt.(i can't believe i've just said that)
not set up yet boss. its looks like the one you got i think.
hey i'm not that stupid, you lost it, not my problem.
my filing system may not have it.
and you speak for yourself mine was lovely and as you can't find it you can't prove it wasn't it was just that i hadn't brushed my hair that day, that was all.
Have you lot finished now? .... sheesh ....... I've forgotten what I was going to say now.
Anyway, more to the point, does anyone know when the clocks are going forward this year?
