The DYR Time Capsule

[Heather74]

Please put in one item from your childhood, that you wouldn't like to see forgotten or lost to time.


I place a photograph of My pedigree Chatter Chimp, with a full item discription on the back

Of Course it does not have to be a toy, Maybe an item of clothing, a book, comic, collectable,sweets or music record.......

What a great thread!

I have a really cool Barbie doll that I was bought when I was 5 - she is dressed very funky, the height of 80's fashion with a fuschia pink bolero and stilleto's and a tight mini-dress. Shows the fashion of the time, and what little girls played with.

Saying that, I also think a famiily photo album would be a good idea. Pics that my gran has of when my mum was growing up, pics from my childhood and also pics of my family. Show them the 3 generations!

A cadbury's cream egg. Just to prove that the things were bigger when we were kids

Re: The DYR Time Capsule

I'm putting in my Raleigh Grifter (hope this is a big time capsule!). They don't make bikes like that any more. As if it wasn't heavy enough already I had mine kitted out with a wing mirror, visibility flag thing and a couple of PG tips collector cards cellotaped to the forks so that they poked through the spokes and made a (sort of) motorbike noise.

After much deliberation, I'm going for the first famous five annual (Five Go Adventuring Again) I received from Grandma at Christmas 1978.

I still have it to this day.

For me it would have to be Dinah - my beloved black doll and as a tribute to the early sixties ( my growing up era) a necklace of 'poppet beads' simple highly coloured plastic beads that 'popped' together.


ME and the famous DINAH

Mine would have to be the Raleigh chopper I had for my tenth birthday. It was a cool looking bike but I could never stay on it. Kept falling off (OUCH!!)............life could have been soooooooooooooooo diffferent!:cry:

My mum's tortoise shell bracelet that my dad brought back from Africa in about 1960 ......I know it's a very un-p c thing today but it's very beautiful and it's now in my jewellery box

This is very similar to mine.
