A few things have happened recently that have made me reflect back to my primary school days.
I suppose Anya, my youngest, leaving her junior school and moving on up to secondary has brought home to me just how quickly childhood passes. I was talking about time (and its passing) with both girls the other day. Priya asked me “what were the happiest days of your life?”
Now the correct answer may have been the time when they were born…? I hope that’s not what they were expecting me to say. But no, rather I went back to my days in Primary School – an all boys state primary where cricket and football dominated everyday!
…days when there seemed to be nothing to worry about…!
when were your happiest times – no delaying – what’s the gut instant response?
BTW – no prizes for guessing which of these lads was me!!
