earliest memories

[myraandjim]

might get a discussion going - what is your earliest childhood memory? Mine is coming out of my cot and being put into a double bed with my older sister, she wouldn't let me stay in the bed once mum had left and I spent the night crying on the floor!! Must have been about 2 or three I think.

I have no memories that far back. I think I remember things but it's more likely to be things I was told about rather than remember.

I can remember being sat on a potty in the upstairs passage of our home.   then looking up at the flickering side lights on the wall. Also my first day at school. I was terrified, until a teacher opened a door of a toy cupboard, that certainly took my mind off how I was feeling.

I vaguely remember sitting in the pram while my mother went into the post office, but I was under 3 then. But I do remember quite vividly, our holiday in Scotland, we went to Girvan, on a mahoosive steam train. I remember sitting on the suitcases on the platform pinching all the meat out of the sandwiches!!!!!

I also remember looking out of the window in the boarding house, and seeing the train coming over the hill, I thought it was coming in through the window and screamed the place down hahahahaaaaa

The earliest fragment of memory I have is being in a huge old pram with the hood up watching the elasticated lace stuff round the edge of the hood vibrate as the pram went over the cobbles of an old coaching inn. The first definate memory is, again about 3, when I walked into the house after we had  moved.  My brother and I had been sent to grandparents for the duration of the move  There was a pink lampshade on the hall light and everything had turned pink.! 

i also remember walking down the road with my mother and seeing real gypsies in their bow topped wagons with coloured horses and all their belongings attached to the wagons, that must have been about 1947/8. I was utterly entranced by them!

I don't know why. But I think my earliest memory, is staring at a tram, waiting at the traffic lights at Amen Corner in Tooting.
I must have been in a pram or pushchair.
