'Life's a Journey' weekly nostalgia link-up (theme preview)

Next week’s theme will be “Old Teen Magazines.”

(Linky to be posted Tuesday, 15th May)

Maybe you were a subscriber to ‘Jackie’? Or perhaps you ‘looked out’ for Look-In every week, so that you could memorise the lyrics to your favourite new pop song before your friends? Or perhaps you swooned over David Essex in the Annual each Christmas? Join in this week’s Blog Hop and share your memories of those old magazines & comics. You can write your own Post and share it in the Linky, or just join in the comments.

About ‘Life’s a Journey’

This is a new weekly series of posts which indulge us in a little reminiscent trip to the heady days of childhood and all things nostalgia.

My obsession is the preservation of our family stories and memories for future generations. Our children are unlikely to ever ask us about our past until they themselves feel a sense of mortality, by which time it may well be too late, as I found to my cost.

It is a parent’s obligation to capture for safe-keeping the memories which we make with our children each and every day as they grow and learn. Our legacy for them.

Each Tuesday we revisit a memory from some part or other of our lives, and the idea is that you join in and do the same!

There will be moments of laughter, moments of sadness, and probably some fashion fails, but that’s the fun of it.

So far in this series we have reminisced about:-
