My Nan had a penny meter and the pennies were in a bowl on the dresser. To keep us quiet, she'd ask us to count the pennies! When that was done, we'd have to sort the button box, matching the buttons into sets!
My Grandad used to give me my favourite job - to go upstairs and find the big brown suitcase - it was always under the bed!! Inside, nestling on a cream Welsh wool blanket were the ripening tomatoes. I can still remember the thrill of finding one that was turning red and running downstairs, clutching it carefully and proudly showing it to my grandparents - as if I'd grown it myself.
Kids these days with all their electronic gadgets will never understand how we found pleasure in such simple things.
