What's Your Earliest Memory?

[plowter]

What's your earliest memory, the first thing you can remember?

My earliest memory is my brother undoing the catches on my pram so I fell out when my mam bumped the pram up the stairs. Ah, the smell of bandages brings back such happy memories.

I remember that, stoke - the Brighton Belle used to rush through our station - the smoke from the train streamed over the road bridge as it went into the tunnel, then pouffed out again on the other side of the tunnel.

Barry Island - 1984. Holding my Dad's hand and paddling in the sea... before being hit down by a wave.

Pushing the little girl next door off the swing. Well, her name was Cynthia.

My earliest is before my sister was born when I was three. I was in a push chair and arguing with my mum that the man walking ahead of us was Uncle Mac from the radio.
The day sister was born at home. I was called in from the street to see her. I climbed the gate and got stuck.I cried for ages before an aunt rescued me. When I saw her she was covered in hair. I thought I had a monkey for a sister. We've never got on.

[stokemaveric]

[Cruciformist]

Watching the tow planes and gliders go over for Arnhem...

[plowter]

These memories are loverly.
They're so real it's like Scratch N Sniff.

[Maydup]

I honestly can't diferenciate between real memories, images from photographs and things I've been told happened...........

I think the first thing I can remember properly is being dragged to school against my will!

[DaisyNonna]

Lateer, the donkeys on the sands at Weston Super Mare. On a donkey in the morning, in a cart in the afternoon. Then ice cream cornet with chocolate pored over it. On holiday with grandparents.

[Delaval]

"Well, her name was Cynthia."
