Watch with Mother was a cycle of children's programmes created by Freda Lingstrom and Maria Bird. Broadcast by BBC Television from 1952 until 1975, it was the first BBC television series aimed specifically at pre-school children, a development of BBC radio's equivalent Listen with Mother, which had begun two years earlier. In accordance with its intended target audience of pre-school children viewing with their mothers, Watch with Mother was initially broadcast between 3:45 pm and 4:00 pm, post-afternoon nap and before the older children came home from school. #watchwithmother #children #1950s

My moms nick name for me was 'busy Lizzie' , last thing she ever wrote to me was 'Dear busy Lizzie, be a good girl for Dad , lots of love Mom xxx' before she died when i was 6, im 57 now , only in recent years i realised she named me after this character, i was always playing with the daffodils out the front 😂 i had short hair, i can see now why she called it me ❤

Dose anyone remember the jolly jack tars song
To the best of my memory it whent
Three jolly sailor boys are we
And we sail a boat on the deep blue sea
I am the Captain
And I am the mate
And I'm the little cabin boy always late
