My first memory, I think, is of my mum bringing me into the house in my pushchair, parking the pushchair in the hall, and starting to fold it up with me in it. I think I would have been just 2.

My earlierst memory that I can be sure of my age with, is coming downstairs one wintery morning with my big sister, and her stopping to point out of the window at the bottom of the stairs, and saying look, it's not the 1960's any more, it's 1970 today.

I would have been 2 years and 4 months.

My pushchair had ahandle that folded in half which made the hinge open.To stop it opening there was a ring that slid over it.I can remember being pushed in my pushchair and playing with the ring,which I had been told never to do,and wondering if I could get away with not pinching my fingers.
This may have been the last time my grandmother pushed me in my pushchair as she refused after I got out and played merry hell because she would not get in and let me push her.It was walk everywhere with her after that.

my earliest memory is my grandmother singing 'pal of my cradle days' to me I was around 2 years old.

I have 2 memories of when I was 3 years old.

First is a sad one.

My baby brother who was 11 weeks old died and I can remember a little white coffin on the sideboard.
In those days you had your loved ones at home before you buried them.

Now for the funny one.

My Grandmother took me shopping one day and we were stood at the bus stop. I remember her saying my Knicker elastic has gone. She had a bit of a wriggle stepped out of her knickers and put them in he bag. I still laugh every time I think of it. Big white bloomers they were too.

Well I remember sitting on the lap of a lady in a train in Sept 1939 as we went on evacuation from London to Kent. The lady was the headmasters secretary and i had gone to School for two weeks with my elder bros & sis so I could be evacuated with them ,I was 2 years and 6 months old

I can remember being in my Grandads garden and jumping on an upturned box, I went through it and got a nail through my shin just above my ankle. I was just 3. Still got the scar but it's much higher up now....lol
