What about muffin the mule bet no one remembers that

Here comes Muffin,Muffin the Mule...

Gillian, I have seen Muffin on video...my brother was the right age to watch, and still has a diecast Muffin :))

my sister got knocked down by probably the only car in the area running home to watch muffin she was ok though

I listened with her Grandmother
Bernard

oh yes..i remember muffin the mule...

Yes, I listened with mother (born '57) and watched with mother .... loved them both. My favourites were The Wooden Tops, Bill and Ben, Trumpton and Camblewick Green.

~~~~~ to Polly, yes I remember like yesterday sitting at the desk doing my exams and writing my birthday, and wondering what I would be doing in 7 years time ...... 21 years old.......coming of age then......

Where was I on my 21st......having a party in my own home and had been married for 20 months and my Sis and BiL had their engagement on the same day........and my MiL had made me a lovely shift dress out of the train of my wedding dress.....

wish I could find more info about Pogles wood RR.........

I listened with mother at my grandmothers, and watched with mother at home (born '60)

I listened without Mother as she was usually too busy, bless her. We got a telly in 1959 and I WATCHED without Mother, too!

My children watched Playschool without me while I raced around doing housework (though I must have seen an episode or two as I remember some of the characters)!

Are you sitting comfortably? My rebel of a brother always used to say 'no' to the nice lady

Kemp and anyone else :))

What time was Listen with Mother,was it 2 o'clock?i don't know why I think that.

Evening All (remember 6.30 on a Saturday?)

I listened with mother and then watched with mother. A particular episode of The Woodentops featured the Ws tying dusters to their feet and then cleaning the kitchen floor......... Seemed like a good idea at the time ........ you can guess what happened next!

The only time we turned the radio over from the Home Service to the Light Programme as for Two Way Family Favourites - the memory of it is permanently intermingled with the smell of boiling cabbage!

I must be old enough to be Grandad to everyone here..........

Does anyone remember - Uncle Mac on the BBC

and "We Are The Ovaltinies - Little Girls and Boys"

on Radio Luxembourg

Please somebody tell me you do!.............

Well I'm defo old enough c1953 and can remember some of it.
I just played the music to my Mum and said "can you remember this"? she got that it was a childrens programme and a happy smile lit up across her face.
She has early onset alzheimers and isn't doing too well at the moment,so was nice to know she remembered some of it

That's really touching Tricia

I've never had to cope with this - I hope your mum recognising it lightened your day for a minute or two.

Very best

We are the Ovaltinees; happy girls and boys...

I had a bakerlite mug with a funny face on it; an Ovaltine mug mum got from somewhere. It got melted, left it too near the fire or cooker.
