Like Edward,I recall with great nostalgia the times when Mum stayed at home and looked after the kids.
If I was ill or troubled or even if I simply wanted a chat or a cuddle,Mum was there for me.
We didn’t have the fancy overseas holidays or two cars in the garage,or all the gadgetry and designer clothes, and a house that looked like a public building,but I wouldn’t have wanted that anyway.
As kids we could roam and explore without care.
