A recent sighting of an old photograph triggered an early memory.
I was on one of the tripper boats,we left from the slip by what became the Buccaneer Shell Shop, by the old Harbour Office. think it was the "Mermaid", (though could have been the other one!).
Anyway the boat was rolling all over the place and I dropped a big purple plum I had been given and was groping down on the deck for it. Next view, Grey things, big grey things bouncing all over the place, just big "Grey" things.
Next early memory.
We used to live at number 10 Queen Street. Up the road was Taylors Garage, next to that Craze's Blacksmiths, next to that Lazletts shop, next, Clift the Cobbler and next to that a cafe.
My memory was standing outside Craze's as my mum took the Pink coloured, well sprung pushchair in for "repair" ( had to walk home and never saw that thing again).
1st memory - 1947 Fleet review in 1947 - I was 2 years old.
2nd memory, I must have been about 3 years old - 1948.
Anybody have similar ones??
