We used to play marbles, my friend Tracey & I used to play horses - there were alot of horse films and programs at the time - my pretend horse was called Dynamite and he was a black stallion - Tracey had a pretend palamino called Smokey Bacon! Milk break - I was allergic to milk as a child and my Mom forgot to tell them on my 1st day at school. They wouldn't listen to a 4 year old in 1969 so they forced me to drink it so I was terribly sick! My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
