Becca was amazed that my dad’s camera didn’t have a screen on the back. She was totally un-impressed with my description of my “state of the art” ZX81 that would print off (on some sort of odd silver paper that it burnt through) slightly odd looking pictures that took hours to program in assuming the thing didn’t overheat and shut down…

Hi Merry! The first book is Comet in Moominland, as far as I can remember – and then Finn Family Moomintroll. After that a bit hazy – I’ll ask Pearl.

We had a video recorder quite early on, and Dad had been collecting Tom and Jerry cartoons from the telly to watch after tea at my birthday party, I think it was my sixth. the other children were completely flummoxed by this “But Tom and Jerry’s not on at this time of day!”

And we would never have thought that you could buy pre-recorded videos back then.

Goodness! I think i only ever had a duvet, i don’t remember anything else at all and i thoguht party lines only happened in Cherry Ames books! We only ever had a colour tv too, though it was smaller than our current portable one. We had a few records, i had the PlayAway one, but seemed to move on to tapes quite early, but thne not to cds for a looooong time. And we had a betamax, then a vhs video but hardly anything to watch on it. Fran thinks it is amazing that our only three films were Mary Poppins, Grease and Dumbo!
