Tree House

[Claire Mc Cullagh]

how many of you had a tree House.
We had one when we lived in 2nd ave.  The best one was in 1st ave bushes above the rope swing outside the feilds house.
I would love to know who the hell climbed up there with the wood , and nails???? :P

Ha! good one Claire, just when I thought we had covered all the bases on the forum..... We had a tree house at E7-1st ave in one of those tall pines... kinda like a platform supported by poles... When the folks were having a braai it was a great place to play with a view of the braai area.....When I look back on those years of climbing on the house and garage roofs and the height of some of the tree houses , I;m surprised nobody broke there neck..........

Mike I remember you had a small treehouse in your garden at the back of the house.....

[Michael Alexander]

Noooooo! It was a massive treehouse, state of the art construction for that time in the 70's  .... well.... Er! it seemed like it back then.....

I walked past E7-1st ave with my kids the other day, trying to explain to them about the tree and the house....... Suddenly I felt like my Dad, when he took me on a tour of Glasgow as a kid.......

The new inhabitants of our house, cut down the old Oak tree, ripped up all the grass and planted Mielies...... Yes! mielies!.......    ???

we had a tree house that felt high and huge but visiting it in later years it was head height and really titchy, all in the eye of the beholder.  The new kitten did fall out of the above mentioned tree structure and not walk for 2 days,  panic and trouble ohhhh yea made a full recovery and any tabby cats in town in the east area will be related to that cat as he was the father of all strays born in the security area for a decade.

we will have to come up with a plan to get rid of those milies.........revenge for cutting down your "wee" tree house....

[Michael Alexander]

Barbara, we had some stray Tabby's wandering the streets down in 1st avenue in those days and a dog that thought it was a cat, walking along the top of fences.....

Shazz, that treehoose wisnae wee, it was a castle on Mondays, a ship on Tuesdays and on friday you could fly to the moon in it!    :o

[Michael Alexander]

Talking of box's, I used to enjoy playing in that pile of empty box's that they kept at the old shop for customers, remember, behind the tills was a hokkie full of box's......

[Sharon]
