Isn’t it funny how little things can take you hurtling to a particular point in your life? These vintage clackers (I remember them as click clacks) did just that!

During one particular year whilst I was at primary school EVERYONE had a pair of these on the go in the playground at lunchtime – the noise was deafening! That wouldn’t happen nowadays (cue much head-shaking and tutting) – what with health & safety regulations and all that.

If you fancy revisiting your childhood – or getting them for your child (Christmas is fast approaching) – they’re currently for sale on eBay for charity in support of St Barnabas Hospice Trust* in Lincoln. Go on… you know you want to see if you’ve still got the knack! 🙂

*St Barnabas Hospice Trust (Lincolnshire) aims to provide for the people of Lincolnshire a specialist palliative care service of the highest quality. The focus of the service provided will be centred around the needs of the patients and carers in a co-ordinated, integrated and cost-effective manner.
