Project 365 16th January

Was visiting an elderly friend this morning, and I have spotted these wooden toys many a time before, so I asked her if I could photograph them, none of the pictures were brilliant.

They are wooden toys made by Brio, think train sets nowadays, and they belonged to her children when they were young, all her children are now in their 60's so they have stood the test of time well.




Not really sure what to link up, but decided on this one just because I like the colours and the fact they are that bit different. TheBoyandMe's 365 Linky

      probably not H&S concious, but in the days kids were kids these would have been a huge amount of fun.

    Those are lovely, and what a terrific reminder of her children to have around all the time.

    They are fab aren't they? Think it's nice to have a few toys left when the children have grown. Trying to decide whether to keep a few of H's for the grandchildren (if we have any).

    they remind of some of the toys in my Aunt Edith's cupboard under the stairs.
    Not 60 years on but at least 40!

    Those old toys never go out of style (and need no batteries)
