I think about the bread man and going to his truck and buying a loaf of bread and some iced buns if he had any left. I also remember my mum used to go fruit a vegetable shopping on aFriday at the market in Adelaide a sometimes we were allowed to go with her, it was exciting times just looking at all the items.
Riding our bikes to the swimming pool in the summer a having 20cents to buy redskins and a white knight bar, we’d stay there all day and then ride home for dinner without a worry. There were many good times in my youth which my kids wished they could have experienced only things changed too much.

Awww... What lovely memories. Thank you for sharing this with us! It does make me sad sometimes too when I think of how vastly things have changed. But I guess that's a normal feeling to have! You're a lucky one to have experienced these :D
 
I also remember delivering milk in bottles from a horse and cart
The horse used to move up when we just whistled
