I don't claim any particularly early memories. When I have early memories - like lying in the garden and getting scared when what seemed to be an enormous bee landed nearby - I have no idea how old I was at the time.

The earliest memory I can put a definite time and place to was walking with my siblings to a playground when I was 3 and a quarter - it was Christmas time and my brother had been given football boots. And I was thinking "Isn't it strange how memory works?"
