You know when people talk about events that have happened in your childhood so much that they 'become' a memory but in actual fact they are not? Well, I have lots of those but my earliest childhood memory that I have is when I was five.
In later years I knew it was the same year my brother was born but I don't remember that myself. My mum had just given birth to my brother and they had to stay in hospital - I don't remember that either.
The thing I do remember is that I walked to school. I remember this because it was the worst winter that we had had in years; everything was covered in snow and trees had fallen and were strewn across the paths. I remember seeing them and being amazed that weather could cause trees to fall. That is my earliest memory - short but vivid in my mind.

DeleteI know what you mean about thinking you remember something because your family have talked so much about it!
ReplyDeleteI have lots of artificial memories - makes it hard to distinguish from actual ones at times.
