Where have all the good times gone?

Have you been wondering about that lately? Well, wonder no more - for today I found the answer. They're here at the Museum of Childhood:





I was never 100% sure whether or not I ever did find the precise location of The Good Times, but there was certainly an abundance of toys and other stuff to look at/play with. There was also a big sandpit with deckchairs, Punch and Judy, etc. which was all reasonably beach-like.

Apart from it not actually being beside the sea-side (beside the sea).


The museum is pretty small - compared to some I know - but they pack a lot in.



There were lovely shiny things from modern times . . .


As well as shiny things of yesteryear: this dolls' house is from 1673! Would you Adam and Eve it?! Ooh - it's like a time travel adventure in the Tardis!


There were also some old familiar friends, from long ago when I was small.





Now of course I am big - and almost as tall as a very large robot . . .





This visit was surprisingly good fun - even though there were far too many children there blocking my view of the exhibits. Don't these kids have TVs and computer games at home??
