How far down the memory lane can you go?

Please share with us your oldest memory.

Mine is sitting on my mom's lap and hearing the announcement at a train station. Oh and chewing on the corner of her purse. I might have been 2 or 32 not sure.

I have very hazy memories of my sister being born (well brought home from hospital actually). I was eighteen months old.

I remember laying on my stomach at my grandparents house and seeing an enormous animal walk past me. I know I couldn't walk yet and realise now that the animal was a cat. Apparently I learned to walk when I was 11months old so it was prior to that. I also have memories of sitting in the pram with my brother and he wasn't born until I was 2

On a mooch

There’s two that happened around the same time, I was about 3

One is hearing screams from next door and then my dad bolting over the fence to help and next time I see him he’s holding a beheaded snake up

The second was playing with the kids next door, we thought it was a great idea to stand on a homemade cart, to climb onto a metal bar, to climb onto a wall and then jump off.

We’d been doing this for hours and then all of a sudden the cart slips, I go flying and crack my head against the wall. I remember sitting on the bus with my mam trying to stop the bleeding as we went to hospital. I don’t remember the stitches going in, but I do remember them coming out.

We were doing it again a week later, without the head bashing

I don’t know how old I was, but I was young enough to be on a blanket on the floor.

I remember seeing a spider running towards me followed by a scream from my Mom before a blur of being picked up and carried very quickly out of the room The next clear memory is being on the floor again looking at the dining table legs.

Sorry to hear about those nightmares. Not all men with big hands are baddies. Must google groober fish.

I have a couple of memories of when I was a baby and when I was a toddler.

The first was standing up in my cot and crying for attention. Mentioned this to mum a few years ago and she didn’t believe me until I described the layout of the room!

The second was me in a pushchair and crying (again - there’s a theme here) because mum bought me black patent shoes and I wanted the red ones!

I very rarely cried/cry - which is probably why I remember them.

The first time I’m guessing I remember because I was frightened by something- the second because it was/is very rare that I’m bothered about ‘stuff’ ie clothes/objects. The only thing I ever wanted as a kid was to go out and play. I was - and still am to an extent - a major league tomboy!

Yup! I had to give up tree climbing a couple of years ago though. My son’s friend fell off a high branch and we had to call an ambulance.

When filling in the details, the paramedic asked me what I did when he fell from the tree - you should’ve seen her face when I responded ‘I climbed down the tree’! Can’t wait to build dens etc with my grandchildren when they come along though!

I remember standing up in my cot crying....my Auntie was babysitting as my parents were out. Recall the darkness of the room, then a wee bit of light from the hall coming in as she opened the room door.

She plugged me with my dummy and I zonked out. My parents reckoned I must have been 18mths-2yrs when I told them about it a few yrs ago.

I have a very clear memory of stumbling around a large church community hall. The sunlight flooding through great big windows and I was in awe of the dust motes dancing in the sun rays. I spent while trying to run and catch them in my hands. Every time I grabbed a handful and opened my hand they’d magically vanished. Haha I didn’t know where they had gone I stopped and walked the length of the hall where a stage was and my mum gave me a drink and snack.

I told my mum this memory as I believe it’s my earliest one. I described the layout of the church community hall and the family friends we were with. My mum was shocked and told me that I was around 14-15 months old when I attended that play/mums group!!

Crazy how I was so little but I distinctly remember how magical it was trying to catch the dust motes in the sun rays

I even remember my dreams as a child and throughout my life. I have so many recurring dreams which carry on, change or are a different version of a previous dream. I don’t know what it is about holding on to so many memories and dreams but I do love it!
