when i was a nipper we used to get up at 6.pint of milk of some ones doorstep on the way to the country.egg collecting was part of my childhood.climbing trees, swimming in lakes, i remember one time seeing 2 men with shotguns .i was about 13 they had the pigeon decoys in one field but all the pigeons were in another field so they said to us if you chase the pigeons off we will give u 50p and a go of the gun that was a good day. the wildlife u seen when we were out we used to go and look it up in books.when i am in the countryside now u dont see kids there all at home on the laptops and xbox
