Those Were The Days.....

.....my friend, We thought they'd never end.
This is not strictly my memory, but my husbands.  It was his birthday yesterday and this is the card I made for him.  He is always reminiscing about the hours he spent as a boy playing football in the street, from breakfast until it got too dark to see the ball.  This sparked memories for me of also 'playing out', but in my case with a skipping rope and a spinning top and whip.  The summers were always hot, the days long and the school holidays lasted forever.  
Thank you to SK for bringing back those days with this Mono Monday challenge on a Favourite Memory, 
Couldn't resist adding this extra of a most unusual sight.
