Mine was when I was a about 11 or 12. My parents decided to take us on a trip camping. We had spent all day outdoors. That evening we went for a drive but my dad's car broke down just outside a small little town. We were nearly 4 hours waiting for someone to tow the car. When we got to the town we had to wait longer for lift back to the campsite. The guy that towed us brought us all out chippers. I was never so happy to see a bag of chips. We never talked so much and laughed so much as we did that day  .
What's yours ? |

Primary school library. At lunch I'd often be the only one in there. The librarian was a lovely little old lady, like a grandmother, and she'd always be recommending new books and encouraging my love of reading.
It was my sanctuary. |

There were a few mostly involving helping my dad in the garden think the most vivid was him pushing me in his wheelbarrow down the road to our allotment and after helping harvest the veg walking back with the Barrow x |

Stood on the top of one of the local hills, age 10, with a pair of binoculars, watching Comet Hale-Bopp light up the night sky.
One of the most wonderous things I've ever seen and it's seared into my memory.

How can I pick just one? 
I was never "spoilt" with material things (strict rules, plenty of chores, never received pocket money and worked after school from the age of 13), but I had an abundance of love (some of it tough), guidance, and encouragement to go out and conquer the world. I'd say the whole of my childhood was one big happy memory  |

Other than that.....my only really happy memory was Christmas I was 6 I think. All I remember was my dad knocking over the Christmas tree and everyone laughing. |

My dad always complaining about the bills.....
He would always get upset when I brushed my teeth with the water running and when I left a room with the lights/television on..,,,,
I would say “ dad it’s no big deal “
His reply “ Wait until you have to pay the bills “
I think of him whenever I sit down to pay monthly bills.... |

"Struggling to think of any. I didn't enjoy much of my childhood 
Does something from my kids childhood count? If so, seeing their faces when I took them to see Santa in Lapland would be up there. "
Aww I can just imagine their little faces. |

"Getting up early, having breakfast then being out all day with mates on bikes, playing footie, going into woods and making dens. Back for lunch and then repeat until dinner."
Kids now a days are missing out on so much. |

"Too many to choose from. I was a lucky kid.
Lucky you "
To be honest, I'm still living my childhood, never seem to have grown up, never treated a job as a career, just another adventure. Still treat my life as an adventure now, and long may it last. |
