Skipping rope

 Skipping rope

At primary school I had a skipping rope it was a length of orange rope bought from a hardware store and my mum had cut this piece of rope off and then use a candle to see all the ends with wax. so I took the Rope to school and used it at playtime. one of my friends School said to me, ‘oh that’s a nice skipping rope’ and I offered to let her hold it and she refused. and now I realise that actually back then children liked skipping ropes that were bought from the shops with Nice wooden painted handles and of course this was the start of the 1980s when materialism became very important to people and so of course my friend didn’t want to touch my home-made skipping rope
