draliman on life

Here is my post for Share Your World, hosted by Di.

Growing up, did your parents take you to visit your uncles, aunts and grandparents regularly?
Just my paternal grandmother. Any other relatives we were properly in touch with lived hundreds of miles away.

If so, did you enjoy those visits or try to get out of them? If not, did you parents take you on outings (the zoo, beach etc).
As a little kiddie, I wasn’t massively happy to go! Apart from that we had lots of days out during school holidays. While Dad was working Mum often took my brother and me to various coastal villages with a little picnic.

What kind of holidays did you have with your parents?
We always visited my maternal Gran up in Scotland, every summer. That was a grand adventure!

Did you have pets of your own, or just a family pet?
We didn’t have any pets. Apart from the occasional “fun fair goldfish”.

It was a lovely day yesterday so I went for a walk along country roads and across fields.
