I've opened up Harry [the attic] and retirement sorting/ perusing/ pondering/staring through the window/Ebaying has resumed.
The old Mad About Monsters desk is once more alive and kicking.
I have a friendly old wizard to add some magic!
Once you start rummaging its amazing what pops up!
These old Walls et al cards are gorgeous and I'm pretty sure I had some as a kid. Did you?
Pretty much everything I loved as a little 'un is pictured including deep sea frogmen!
Thunderbirds-like crabloggers!
Undersea bases and sleek jets!
What more could you want!
Maybe an old game from those golden years, Twister by MB. Now that was a crazy family pastime, stretching across a plastic mat in your socks! Phew! A classic and a symbol of the Sixties for me.
Did you have a favourite game as a kid?
Wowee, those Sci-Fi cards are too cool for words - each one a little masterpiece! Are you keeping those - I would!
ReplyDeleteYou may be the only person in history to have described the Short SC.1 experimental VTOL jet as sleek. Hideous or ungainly would be the opinion of most. Perhaps the angle helps.
ReplyDeleteThe cards are great - did they come with ice-creams ? Nothing like that in New Zealand that I can recall.
I love those cards! My nephew (or was it my niece??) had Twister. It was fun until we realized it was more work to play than it was worth! Break out the board games kids!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Those cards are lovely. I remember collecting them as a kid. Ice cream heaven!
