I remember being taken to Shrewsbury railway station several times by my father to go train spotting. This would have been before the age of four as I remember seeing "City of Truro" through on an excursion to the Festiniog when I was about 3 1/2, and that was deffinately not my earliest railway loco memory.
I also remember being photographed standing next to our neighbour's car and on that photo I look less than 2.
My earliest sound memories are of curlews calling as I lay in my cot, my father playing a 78 record of "Oh silver moon" and when he brought home a record of "Trio Los Paraguyos" after seeing them at a concert, still before I was 4.
The earliest smell I can remember was white chocolate buttons.
My earliest painful memory was falling down about 5 stairs in the house.
