My earliest memory is from the time that Kennedy was shot, although I don't actually remember the shooting itself. My dad was a sci-fi fan and he was very excited about a new TV programme that was coming out, called Dr Who. The Dr Who premiere was the day after the shooting. I was about 3 and a half at the time By the way, I'm very impressed that West Ham won the world cup!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare silkworms Posted January 28, 2021 #14481 Share Posted January 28, 2021 1 hour ago, Dermotsgirl said: I have already written off this year for foreign travel - my 2 remaining cruises have been moved to 2022. The trouble with foreign travel is that it drives the spread of new variants of the virus, so to my mind it seems sensible to discourage overseas travel, except for essential reasons. Last year I had booked a coach trip to the Edinburgh Tattoo, which has been moved to this year. I hope it goes ahead as it coincides with our 40th wedding anniversary. It would also be nice if we can get away for a couple of other short breaks. But it not, then we stay at home 🤷♀️ Yes,we are also hoping that the Tattoo takes place, also that the Princess cruise taking us to the Tattoo during a UK cruise in August also takes place. Have booked the Tattoo tickets via Princess and have really good seats. However, there are a lot of US citizens on this cruise and I am doubting that Scotland would be happy for the influx. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember the Kennedy space centre ,Churchill insurance (Oh Yes ) and me Mam coming home with a tin of John West Ham. Most of all I remember Churchill's funeral day I was 9 year old and tried jumping over an old chain link fence and failed , so it was the hospital for me to have my leg stitched up , Edited January 28, 2021 by kalos 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A while ago posters were saying their birthdays were in January and I said it was our anniversary. I think Purplesea(Pam) must have written them down as she is the first to post on them. Clever lady. Sis Clever me? Not really. Just remembered as they are all around the same time as my daughter's (22nd), niece's (26th) and my (24th) birthdays. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adawn47 Posted January 28, 2021 #14489 Share Posted January 28, 2021 It's been a lovely day with some nice surprises. Cards and flowers, chocolates and two bottles of wine from our daughters and grandchildren, good wishes from CC friends and an appointment for our covid jab. After our nice dinner with bottle of wine, we're now relaxing listening to some romantic sax, nibbling on chocolates, a glass (or 2)of Tia Maria and a coffee.

It was a choice between setting up home or a honeymoon and the practical side won out. Since the childen have been supporting themselves though, it's been one long honeymoon interspersed with long haul holidays and cruises. Avril Aww, lovely! My aunt and her new husband went to stay with his cousin in London and it was her first time out of Wales. I have a little bust of Churchill and every time she sees it, she goes on about the funeral. I think that made more of an impression than the actual honeymoon 😘 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
