It was a sunny and windy day so we sat under the mango tree. You could hear the rustling of the leaves. Outside felt really nice so I spread a crocus bag on the ground so my little sister, my niece and I could sit and play Ludo then Snakes and Ladders. About 10 feet away from where we were sitting my brothers were playing marbles pitch with their friends. All the children in the neighborhood were outside doing something interest and fun. At lunch time we would all go in for lunch. Hours later we would be back outside playing cricket or the boys would go to the savanna to play football. And that was a memory of the Good Old Days in Point Fortin, Trinidad and Tobago.
