My childhood toys


When I was growing up I had several toys but the most loved of toys I had were a squirrel called Rusty and a monkey named George both survived my childhood and are in my mothers attic. I remember finding them while visiting one day and the nostalgic memories flooded back. Those toys both got a lot of loving when I was a young boy, mostly they were used as comforters and as I grew older I moved on to matchbox cars and transformers. Now they are sat in storage a bit like Toy Story 3. Can you imagine the stories these toys could tell you if they could really come alive. If they do have their own kind of soul I hope they know that they were and are still greatly loved.

I don't have any photos of these toys so here are photos of toys that has a likeness to them If you had a toy line up this pair could be pulled out by accident instead of George and Rusty :p




Other then childhood toys this little bunny Bun Bun is special to me because I brought it for my wife and when we first met and he now goes with her everywhere on her bag.

I took these photos years ago to amuse my wife I have posted them here so you can share in the cuteness that is Bun Bun.

Bun Bun explored the garden far and wide, with his handy climbing gear (to you and me the hoop coming out of his head) :P he travelled all over the garden searching every nook and cranny!
This blog entry is in response to a contest ran by tattooed mummy thank you for running a contest that made me think of my childhood :) if you are looking for children toys then look no further than the one stop bug shop

    Cool. I bought my wife a hand puppet Father Christmas when we were dating years ago. When we went on honeymoon he came too but sadly was forgotten at the hotel when we left. Never to be seen again.

    He was with her when we weren't together at night. I like to think he stayed behind thinking he was no longer needed. :-)

      My wife brought me a toy bear for whenever we are apart that I've called little Merlinda which she sprayed with her scent of choice White Musk :) I brought her a lamb that I also sprayed with my aftershave that way we could always smell each other and feel comforted

    Great post. I had totally forgotten that I had a squirrel as a child, but mine was Tufty from the Green Cross Code
