    I can remember sitting on the ground in my aunties flat, playing with coloured wooden blocks and with lego. Would have been maybe 1 and a half years old. Remember my mother coming back to the house and lifting me off the ground from the blocks and leaving the place with me!

    So, what about you's bastards?

    I remember my 4th birthday. I got a huge (probably not that big) cylindrical box of bricks. I remember the bedroom I was in, the bed was against the window, I used to stand on the bed and look outside. Don't think I have an earlier memory...

    The black flags outside my neighbours' homes during the hunger strikes. I was fascinated by these people and this world. Followed by watching armed and masked men on tv firing shots over graves and the massive, massive crowd and talk when Bobby Sands died and everybody hating a certain woman. A fascinating secret world for a child to take in.

    Sitting in a highchair in my grandparents' kitchen wearing a bib and eating a Smarties Easter egg broken up into little bits in a plastic bowl. Remember trying to take the bib off and getting the bowl taken away from me!:(

    I remember being 2 weeks old and my great Grandmother holding me. She passed away shortly after and this was the only time I saw her. I can still remember this clearly, which is very odd.

    Being in Trabolgan when I was 4 or 5 and they had a wave maker and slide.

    Back in the days when people stayed in Ireland on their holidays and walked around in the rain wearing shorts.

    That and running around the Dalkey Hotel (which isn't there anymore) screaming my head and being told not to drink coke because it made me hyper.

    I got a lego set for xmas when I was 4.5 and I'm pretty sure I have no date specific memories before that point.

    My earliest memory is trying on every pair of shoes in Dunnes Stores and running around like a lunatic in each testing which ones were the 'fastest'. I had to have full confidence in my choice

    Eating raw sausages behind the couch. My brother pushing me in my pram down the stairs. Cutting my hair off and trying to hide it in the sugar bowl :)
