People/things that you use to like when you were about 10

Things that seem very famous five-y 12 years on.

Going out for all day rides on the ponies with picnic lunches, playing hide and seek, stalking through bushes to warily uncover 'tramp' dens, making hidey holes in barns full of hay and straw, swimming in the river. Waterfights, barbecues, believing in Santa Claus.

Makes me feel right lazy comparing it to now.

Dick, Fanny and Moon-face?

Surely used to.

Dick and Fanny were a big part of my life at 10, clearly.

Moon-Face?
