Three, Four, Six ...

A 'nearly ran' for this week's Sunday Challenge, which had the theme of numbers.

Hopscotch is a children's game that was certainly popular when I was growing up, long before computers and smart phones took over.

However, I'm not sure it's played much these days and therefore was surprised to recently find this one marked out in a children's playground in Romanby, Northallerton.

When I first came across it the numbers were marked out in white, but when I returned this week to take this particular photo I found they'd been repainted in this very bright shade of yellow.

Fabulous! This was a good game. I cannot remember the thing about throwing a stone to hit a number. What happened if you missed the number? Did you miss a turn and therefore then have to throw onto the correct number?
