around town today ... from a Santa sled in the town centre, Also with those brightly colour merry-go-rounds that appear in places from time to time. I have no idea if this is the first year they have been here or not ... All tacky to me ... but I am sure a delight to others.
My parents let me go the local fairs, but Dad was always worried about the safety of these rides. This would be well before health and safety and progression of time improving these rides.
I was the same with our daughter ... but being a daughter too ... I know our sense of adventure and whether we are doing something or not does depends a lot on what we see and what we face ... As our daughter grew up it was Alton Towers ... Chessington ... and Lego Land ... and the like ... it makes the rides we had ... look tame ...
Our daughter would like to go bungee jumping ... my thoughts are well known on that ... even I would not have done that in my younger days ... if I had had the opportunity ...
When I used to dive from a diving board at a sensible height; that was fine. When I tried it a bit higher ... the sensation of the deepness in that area is amazing experience ... not one I want to try too often. And certainly you have to know about the safety of diving in natural pools and that it is deep enough to do so. Dad knew all the rock pools in our area of Cornwall. He was the one to help me gain confidence, with these natural areas of the coastline. This does not appeal to everybody. We loved it. My Mum did not.
