It was my 8th birthday when they first walked on the moon. Although I was a huge space enthusiast (yes even at that age) and was glued to the TV I was a bit disappointed during the take off and lead up coverage because my dad had told me that all birthdays were cancelled on the 20th because of the moon landing!
Obviously he was joking and I did get my usual tangerine, hoop and a stick and a swing on the garden gate.
