Memory: Earliest Memories
Song on the radio
I think my earliest memory is from when I was 4 or 5 years old. It was one summer when we were in our old house - we moved when I was 6. I can remember swinging on the swing in the garden and it was a sunny summers day. My parents had the radio outside and the Bangles song 'Eternal Flame' was playing. I swung higher and higher in time to the music and song along at the top of my voice...but I was too young to know the word 'eternal' and sung 'is this burning, an e-turtle flame' instead! It didn't make sense but I thought they were singing about turtles.
