Belonged to the Gosling Family. <BR/><BR/>I had a go on a boingy horse in my time, but wasn't very good at it. <BR/><BR/>R.Ross Eldridgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09250071187770548501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238084856370735932.post-66627271211479120562009-04-06T17:44:00.000+01:002009-04-06T17:44:00.000+01:00mostly all i remember about nursery school is that...mostly all i remember about nursery school is that i wanted to ride the boingy horse that 'walked' when you bounced, and i was never in time to get him. other than that i think i quite liked it, though. i went to strawberry hill, not far from your old waterside. is that what the haunted house was called? <BR/>i don't remember going to kindergarten at all, or transition (and i'd forgotten all about 'transition' until you mentioned it!) i just remember first form at whitney, where dick was a prefect and pretended he didn't know me.<BR/>:) khairete<BR/>suzsuzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04232899709402267181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-238084856370735932.post-3803073272151980272009-04-04T21:16:00.001+01:002009-04-04T21:16:00.001+01:00Meant to say, I saw your post in the Camroc Press....Meant to say, I saw your post in the Camroc Press.

Although in the time it took me to type that first sentence, I thought of quite a few things . . . amazing!!! Interesting.<BR/><BR/>You caused me to look up the abacus to see if I could learn more that what I know about it . . . which is its appearance and function only. I wonder if it is a simple thing to use one.Ruth L.~https://www.blogger.com/profile/01008932486010118709noreply@blogger.com
