Playing Games

Created by 17 years ago
My early memories of Phil are playing games such as 'Egg' in the garden where one person throws the ball up in the air and calls the name of one of the others who gets the ball whilst everyone else runs away coming to a freeze once the ball is retrieved. That person then has to try to hit someone with a throw of the ball - if they were too close it could cause tears! We also shared a bedroom till our early teens and our beds were on opposite sides of the room with a good foot of space underneath the mattresses that acted as great goals. Using a tennis ball we would score goals using our hands to throw the ball, often using the sides of the room and wardrobes to rebound the ball past each other.
