Something I really treasure are my Sasha dolls, kept from my childhood. Both my sister and I were given a set when we were about 8 or 9 years old. They were very much loved! Originally I had the older boy and girl and then my sister gave me the baby for my birthday. We kept them because they're quite unusual in that they're not just traditional white Caucasian dolls and they had trendy London clothes. They're one of the few things left from my childhood - I gave my old pyjama case to my son Frankie.
