My Favourite Time As a Child

When I look back on my childhood the pre-school days were the best living as an only child in the country although adopted was treated as a guest In my bedroom, I played with my toys lots of farm figures were such fun felt like I had my very own farm took a break when I went out to run One of my favourites is Betta Build to build little houses just like new also loved my Meccano set spent endless hours doing all I knew AS a loner I loved my own company spending quality time with just me such sweet contentment to enjoy gives you a feeling of being free Having a stammer caused to be alone but don't regret it, no not at all for learned such a lot about myself years later, able to ride over many a fall (This is about autobiographical account of my childhood. The life I remember from my pre-school memories which were my favourite years.)

I loved reading about your childhood memories Gordon and taking a trip down memory lane with you. Although you were a loner you were not ‘alone’. One of my favourite spiritual sayings is,’ I am with myself when alone’ and that’s exactly what you were doing. Like me, you had the ability to amuse, sustain yourself. I am blessed with sisters and brothers but even now, as an adult, I have been alone a lot and not bothered by being alone. Love the line, ‘ spending quality time with just me’.
