Pennsif - The Early Years - Toffee Apples, Hunting Rabbits & a Go-Kart
Memories are made of this...
I am eternally grateful to my late father for the time he spent filming our family activities when I was young. And later on to have the films converted into digital format.
In the 1960s and 1970s cameras were not common, cine cameras were even rarer and smartphones didn't exist!
So I feel priviledged to have these moving memories to look back on.
This collection of snippets begins when I was about 4 years ago. They feature my mother, my sisters and various friends of whom alas I can barely remember their names.
Andy, my sister's Yorkshire Terrier makes an appearance, as does the pet rabbit that caused me to hit my dad on the head with a hammer...
And the film includes toffee apples (remember them?), building bonfires (are they still allowed?), bubbles on the swing, my favourite red tricycle, hunting the rabbit, the paddling pool and slide, and a most excellent go-kart that my dad built for us.
Please enjoy. I do every time.
Happiness and sadness all wrapped up in 2 minutes of beautiful memories.

Awesome, I particularly enjoyed your later performance in the hit movie 'Home Alone'! ;)
😀 - I used this as my showreel...
@pennsif, Hope that your Father is resting in peace. Definitely he gifted you and your family with memories.
And in my opinion pictures and videos are nothing but the Time Traveling aspect which we do it through our memories after exploring these old days.
Have a wonderful time ahead and stay blessed.

Honestly to be able to look at the old memories of the 1970s it might not be really clear like you have but it's the kind of memories that brings smiles to the face and sometimes we can't give this up for anything really. I was smiling all through watching the fire the smiles and the memories. Surely you must've missed this.
