My favourite occupation was definitely climbing trees when I was young. We had an orchard next to us full of Victoria plum trees and coxs apples and I became expert at climbing up and staying put while I ate the fruits. Great fun. 

As far far as indoor games were concerned I liked building castles from packs of cards.

what was your favourite thing to do?

    My daughter used to put on shows like that, she went to tap and ballet until she was about thirteen or so @janer1967. Of course she loved the Riverdance when that came out.

    @66Mustang Did you find that doing so much reading helped you at English in school, you seem to be good at writing.

    @Biblioklept reading two books a day is fast, have you ever thought of proof reading?

    I have heard that reading makes your writing better, so that may well be the case!

    That’s really kind of you to say though, thanks :) although, I always thought I make a lot of mistakes! Also, I do have to look stuff up often like most recently the difference between “effect” and “affect” :D

    I used to love playing curby throwing the ball across the road to bounce back of the curb, we played that everyday for years. Even now I'd love a game, too many cars now tho.
