Description:
When I was a child, I and many of my neighbour friends of my age used to gatehr outside in the streets and play together till night. Sometimes we would be about 15 in number. We had many games to choose from such as traditional ones - hide and seek, Cat&Mouse, S.T.O.P. - and those we invented ourselves - ' Noli bir-Rota' and 'Cat bil-Ballun').
My favourite friends were Brian, Stefan, Noel, Joseph, Chris, Ramon, Jason and Shirley. many of these can be seen in the photos here or in my Friends section. Sometime we would be about 12 to 15 children outside playing (and shouting in the evenings and nights!). These were really magical moments of my childhood.
