10 Things I Loved at Age 10

Great list idea from @billbergeman.

1. Reading.

I read all the time. Books were my biggest joy. I'd read at every opportunity.

I loved school. I had a great teacher, Mrs Davenport.

My Dad and I spent a lot of time gardening together.

I discovered fountain pens in Mrs Davenport's class and never looked back.

He was Arthur of the Britons. I loved that series and became a big fan. I met him a few times later on.

I loved getting snail mail although it wasn't called that back then.

I had a tiny film camera that I loved to use. Even better - getting the prints back in the mail.

Parents of our neighbour, I spent a lot of time with Nana and Grandad.

I had (and still have) a Reader's Digest book about mysteries. My Dad and I often pondered mysteries and the truth behind them.

My Dad and I watched a lot of sci-fi. My Mum wasn't a fan so we spent a lot of time pretending we were watching something else!
