BACKYARDS

Most children these days don’t have the big backyards that some of us can remember. Or maybe because we were young the backyard just seemed big…. We seemed to have endless space to play tag or just run around skipping rope, sitting under a big leafy tree playing dolls or just lying staring at the sky and daydreaming. Seems today most children are inside sitting at their computers or watching television. Growing up, we were sent outside to play and we did, finding endless games to play, running around, shouting and laughing and being kids. Now, with such an increase in population, land and space is precious and you are lucky to find a tiny bit of green space.
