Nope  ………. no one wanted to play with us, we were a huge family ……….

At 16, my mother letting me go on a ski trip with church to Glenshee. Slept in bunks, clothes never dried out from day to day. Power cuts at night due to strikes. Oh & standing outside to wash our dishes in freezing cold water. It was brilliant time!

Anything by ELO reminds me of my first love - dated from age 14 to 18 - many happy soppy memories   Whenever I hear the Carpenters it takes me back to childhood - my mother always had it on in the kitchen while she baked - that and Crystal Gale.  My mum was and is a big Terry Wogan fan and always had Radio 2 on - one year on her birthday she got a request played it absolutely made her year - and whenever I hear the track - Love Is In The Air - it takes me back to that day - she didn't stop grinning all day long - and she even managed to record it on the reel-to-reel tape player - that's how long ago it was lol (I was about 12 I think).  Never ceases to amaze me how songs, or smells etc, can instantly transport us to memories, both happy or otherwise - can't imagine life without those moments!

The Air That I Breathe and Seasons in the Sun still reduce me to mush

Another memory, aged 16/17 sitting on pier Brodick, listening to Sitting on the Dock of the Bay. Earlier one was a trip Doon the Watter to Tighnabruaich at about age 11 Mama's Papas song onboard, can't  remember which one. Every time I hear it I'm transported back to the scenery up the Clyde on return journey. Magic!
