  Who did that? Who did it? It wasn't me! Have you been accused of something you didn't do? The injustice! The unfairness! Also in this episode, Hedgehogs, PE at school, cowboy outfits, spinning wool, couples unable to live together... This is an action packed episode!

  In the 1950s, everyone had a tortoise! Hedgehogs were in abundance, foxes were only seen in the countryside... How things were different back in the old days.

  In this episode, I chat about growing up in the 1950s. What was it like for a young mother with a baby or toddler? How did she cope with looking after the child and doing all the housework, cooking, washing, ironing, shopping and more? Playpen? Cot?

  What do you do with a small child when you're trying to get things done around the house? Playpen or cot? In this episode, I chat about little ones on the loose around the house.
