When you think back to your childhood sure there may be one or two toys you remember begging your parents for, but chances are most of your happy memories are centred around fishing by the river, endless days spent with salty hair and sandy toes and fish and chips on the beach at sunset. While a lot may have changed since you were a kid, one thing truly remains the same, it is the simple pleasures, getting back to basics and spending time outside that help create these lasting fond memories.
