I think my husband could use reminding that his body isn't as young as it was. He still goes at everything full pelt and then wonders why he injures himself and takes so long to heal! 😆
Ah yes, winter in the playground... although it was more commonly just ice than snow. There was a slope going down towards the school where the kids would make a skid patch most years, which sounds a bit iffy when I write it down now! It was basically an ice slide. Run and slide along on it with your feet and it got slippier the more it was used, as long as it stayed cold enough.
With British being so small, but well populated, we probably didn't need personal transport as much as you might have in the USA. So it was considered more of a luxury back then.
