Alison, ahhhaa - we swung round trees on a rope! I grew up in a hole-in-the-hedge in the middle of nowhere (oh, alright, the bottom of the Ards peninsula - it's still the Sticks!), but my dad's from Belfast and I moved there when I was 18.
Did you do all the songs - "Fair Rosa was a lovely child" and "Green Gravel" and "In and out the dusty bluebells" and "Oranges and Lemons"? Oh, and the song that no one outside my town has ever heard: "The boat was leaving Belfast"
I'll bet if I'd been born ten years later I would've missed out on all these things. The children I take for Guides today haven't a clue about them. We taught them to skip and when we started singing "Jelly on a plate" they said "ohhh, our mum sings that". How did it all disappear?
