Carol,

I too am doing the same as you. Have completed my Childhood memories of growing up in Arundel. Now have to get it published. It's only for my children.
I have so many memories can't pinpoint the earliest. Several spring to mind all pre-school. I suppose the one I am famous for is grassing the door. Dad kept this alive until the day he died. Briefly front door was being painted a beautiful gloss green, dad was mowing lawn round the back.painter had finished came round to tell dad.  I took a handful of grass clippings run round front a d threw them at door. Ran back to dad pleased as punch and said "I've grassed the door daddy!" Painter was not amused, dad saw funny side. He kept that story alive with a twinkle in his eye. I can still see it today I was probably about 4.

Happy days :)

I was two years,we visited my Aunt and Uncle at a cottage on a farm.  There was a drip tray under a beer barrel that my older brother about 4 years fed me the drips, I was so drunk I nearly fell out of a bedroom window!!

Amazing isn't it?   

My oldest son remembers one incident which happened when he was 6 months old, which beats my earliest memory.

I believe it was due to the traumatic effect of the bangs and shakings which ingrained it in my brain.
I remember nothing else until I was around 2 when in the back garden I asked Dad what peacetime was? His reaction, from a 43 year old Train driver, Homeguard and WW1 underage vet was to burst into tears. Not too surprising really. What effect are current wars having on small children?
