Happy Childhood Memories

Hi guys,

It’s so easy to focus on negative things. I thought it might be fun to have a place to put some happy memories from when we were kids.


I will start, when I was 4 we had a lovely garden. I remember putting flower petals from roses into water and telling my Mum it was rose perfume.

Great idea @Oaktree

photos bring back to me good times growing up.

find it very difficult to differentiate what memories are from photos and what I actually remember.

First photo that came to my mind is Blackie.

she was a black bantam that I used to carry in my arms. Shed used to like to sit on my head whilst I walked around the backyard, I had a hand knitted hat I used to wear that she would grip with her claws.

My older brother taught me to ride a bike on his Malvern Star bicycle.

I remember hurtling down a hill out the front of my grandparents house as a kid. First time I rode a bike. Made me go upright, scared . Maybe I made the other kids laugh, not sure. I was used to a scooter, but it got sold. Really learned bicycle riding in early 20s when I bought my first bicycle. Sorry if it is bittersweet . Such a mixed bag… my childhood.

being about 6 or 7, laying with bare feet on camp stretcher in ten at Phillip Island. My oldest cousin, who was on holiday with us, waiting until my eyes were closed to start tickling my feet with a sea sponge.

laughs, giggles ….. it’s amazing I didn’t kick him. My feet are the most ticklish spot of me. Everyone thought it was funny at the time except me.

@Former-Member haha i can't stand my feet being tickled. Honestly if anyone tickles my feet they better be prepared to be kicked 😂
