hi Quinnie, yes great fun. We used to suck clover and call it clover milk and see who could find the purple clover first. We also played marbles (shotties) Hopscotch, kick the can, cannon and even whip and top. Good old days eh! Oh I forgot, we used to have a skipping rope from one side of the road to the other and take it in turns to run in and out of the rope when our name was called in the rhyme (someone's under the bed etc.,)
