I remember, oh how I remember the years that have gone by. Our doors were never bolted our windows never closed. Women had part-time jobs knocking on doors all afternoon, their comely voices bidding: Madam 'tis Avon calling for you. Meantime grandma would sit outside the house and gossip with friends who passed her by, whilst we would wander all alone in fun parks or green meadows, flying our gaudy coloured kites, and gathering cowslips for our dear mum.

Belated Congratulations on POTD. Victor. If only we could change back to these times. No one locked their doors but good people were honest and respectful living by the golden rule. The freedom from fear we had as children was a true gift. Best, SuZ

Hi Victor! Well-deserved POTD! Yes, I recall that when we decided to go on holiday, we had to go buy a lock and key; the door had never been locked! Elizabeth
