I remember a toy my Nan (or was it my Gran?) got for my sister when she was little. It was a white octopus made of wool. (Odd thing to give a baby!). I picked a packet of marbles to take her as a present for being born. Well it's what I would have wanted.
For my 4th Birthday I got a mahoosive green combine harvester with yellow blades. And it had a swing out arm thing like they do. It was ace. Silver Jubilee year, Mum and Dad went mad decorating the shop in red, white and blue. They both wore boaters with Union Flag ribbon round the brim and Silver Jubilee aprons. They made me an apron out of a teatowel. I sat next to Stuart Wilson at the Jubilee Jamboree and had a strawberry ice pop.
