I was driving to mothers this morning and I was searching for a radio channel.

All of a sudden I heard a song that I hadn't heard for years and it transported me back to age 13. I sang my little heart out and it made me feel so good.

The song was Let Me In by the Osmonds.

I remember coming home home from school one lunch time to find my dad on the phone to the ticket office at the Apollo Theatre in Glasgow buying two tickets for me and my best friend to see the Osmonds.
We were allowed to Glasgow on our own at night and an afternoon off school to go stand outside the hotel they were staying in. It was the best time of my little life.

By the time I had listened to that song this morning the tears were dripping off my chin.....I had a lovely dad.
I am typing this listening to it on Spotify....still a bit teary.


Happy teenage memories ladies and why.

Memories are wonderful xx

Going to Aberdeen when I was 14, with a youth orchestra that had been set up by a local music student, to give a concert there.  Away from home, in the company of about 50 others, the train journey up, staying in a youth hostel, rehearsing and performing a lovely programme in Aberdeen's Music Hall (the music we did always brings back memories) - it was just a wonderful time and great fun.

Good thread! can't remember any off the top of my head though ……… Life was a bit of a blur but I'll put on my thinking cap …….. I was 16 when I fell in love, does that count 

[honeybun]

"Those Were The Days" 

Picnics in the sunshine
Climbing trees in Thetford Chase

Stock car meetings across the UK

I must have some, there just has to be, but the unhappy ones scream louder and block them out.

It could be a positive exercise to try and find some so thank you for starting this.  I will think hard.

My later teenage years were not great BJ. My dad was ill and then died when I was 19. My happiest times as a child was when he was there. He kept my mother in check and was just a really nice man.

I am sorry you didn't know him for longer.  My father was the one who made my time at home unhappy but I will definitely think of some happy times 

Oh yes, bike rides out in the country with my boyfriend (who I married 39 years ago    )

And playing the piano 

And Jackie Magazine 

there we go............

CLKD Thetford Chase don't know why it reminded me of reading the book Brendon Chase ! Oh how I loved that book,still occasionally read it now and it takes me right back to a more innocent time ! Has anyone else read it ? There are so beautiful pen and ink drawings in the book too,well the original ones. I love old children's books that why we love going to Hay on Wye.

[CLKD]

Oh drop me into Hay on Wye with a List and I'm gone 

Books kept me sane ……..
I too have difficult childhood memories ………. music is involved in a lot of my memories as our certain lunch time programmes: anyone remember the Clitheroe Kid and Round the Horne? 

[dazned]

Yes I remember them both ! And the Navy lark .

Remember being quite small standing outside the kitchen window on a box so I could see through the open window and watch my mum dishing up Sunday dinner whilst she sang along to songs on two way family favorite s think it was.
Later on I was allowed to be put to bed for awhile in their bed whilst she did the ironing to Sing something simple in summer with the windows open and the birds singing ,that lovely smell of fresh ironing . So evocative .......

We might have been climbing trees in Thetford Chase together CLKD!!
