Show me the way to go home ..

When my sisters and I were small ~ all sitting in the back of my Dads Ford Cortina ~ no seatbelts (and probably fighting for space as only three siblings can !) My Mum used to sing to us to break up the car journey ~ of course no gizmo's like nintendo or xbox or psp's were even around then!  One of my favourites was "Show me the way to go home" we would all sing along and listening to my Mums soothing voice would always inject calm over the car.










































































































































































Of course ~ this pendant isn't named after the song but it was inspired by it ~ I wonder if my daughter will have such memories ~ she's usually got her head in her dslite .....

This one will be added to the shop later this week...

  3. LOL - I remember being sung this too :) We were always singing in the car. There were three of us too.... I was the big sister getting set upon by a little brother and sister. And I remember having no seatbelts.
