I wish it was on film........
Apparently I chucked the worlds greatest tanty as a 5 year old.
A family friend + Salvation Army church member was Range Officer at Swanbourne, and all our sunday school kids used sandy circle for play group and parties and stuff.
The big blokes in green suits always took us for rides in stuff with tracks that clanked, and we got to wear tin hats and mess about collecting buckets of brass and dig bullets out of the sand behind the targets. and go for rides in thier little boats. as you do.
Some of the big blokes in green suits let us watch them play with big noisy toys, and army issue firecrackers and smoke bombs and parachute flares and all sorts of wondrous stuff and there was much fun and rejoicing and all was good in the world...............
until mum wouldnt let me take my new blooper home
Ive never forgiven Mum for that
I mean, everyone knows a kid needs a blooper
