I took these photographs a few weeks ago… whilst clearing out my loft, I came upon a bag full of the children’s old dressing up clothes… my teenage sons of 17 and 15 were delighted with this blast from their pasts and promptly dressed up in everything that they could still fit into! So this is my take on nostalgic for this weeks photo challenge…
Eldest son, on the left, is dressed in a fusion of Cowboy hat, meets Jack Sparrow pirate headband with hair attachments, Jack Sparrow pirate belt & pirate sword, meets Lego Bear shield! Youngest son on the right is dressed in a fusion of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles mask, meets Knights facial armour, meets Lego Eagle shield, meets Harry Potter glove, meets Laser tag gun!
I had to add this one… when my youngest son looked down and saw his old handmade hat he wore for a school assembly his voice went all high pitched as he exclaimed with a sharp intake of breath… ‘My broccoli hat!’
I could not stop laughing for ages… it was so much fun seeing them enjoying all of their old childhood stuff once more… such a lovely nostalgic moment!

Thanks! He was so funny when he saw his broccoli hat! 😀 I’ve been having problems lately (not personally) with my blog… whenever I try to post a comment it just seems to disappear into the abyss!? I seem to be able to reply to comments on my blog but not to post them on others! I’ve noticed some bloggers having the same problems so I wonder if it’s a temporary glitch? It’s very frustrating! 😦

How strange! I did read comments mentioning the same problem on another blog. Hope it gets sorted soon!

I have just tried to post a comment on your ‘Feed Me’ post and it just disappeared! It was a long one too! Can you check your spam to see if it’s gone there for some reason, someone else I follow said she’d found comments from regular readers in her spam!

Found, but there was nowt else in there from you, chucklebutty 😦

What’s all that about? Will investigate further and let you know! 😉

Ok, super sleuth 🙂

Thanks Lisa! It was wonderful watching them! 🙂 I found your comment in my spam folder… I’ve been having problems posting comments on other peoples blogs, they’ve just been disappearing and a few people have found them in their spam. Are you having similar problems?
