The banana splits put a smile on my face - thank you.

Chick-a-dee, sorry, but enjoying the same weather as you, I'm in south Manchester! Got another 4 weeks before seeing the sunshine again in Esentepe. My husband had sandfly flu last year, that was very nasty.

What about pippy long stocking - anyone remember her?

Chick-A-Dee....



Memory is fading .....but from what I can remember......Stig of the dump

was about a young lad who lived on a rubbish tip and was befriended by all the local kids.



Some other board members might remember more than I...unless they are all pretending to be 21 again!!!

Stig of the dump.....just googled it and my memory has returned!!!!



It's about a little boy who stumbles down a chalk pit and meets Stig, a shaggy creature that lives beneath the chalk pit.

The boy and Stig embark on a series of adventures together.



Ring any bells?
