The Take it Further Febuary Concept is What are you old enough to remember? see Sharon’s post for full details…That is a big question to answer on a tiny post card but that is the challenge.
 My first thoughts were to identify early memories…
My earliest memory of an international event that I am aware of is man walking on the moon (21st July 1969).
My earliest national event that I remember is when Australia changed our currency from pounds shillings and pence to dollars and cents on the 14th of February 1966.
My earliest local home town event that I remember is the opening of the new Catholic Church, about november 1962, dated and remembered because my sister at a few weeks old was the last baby to be baptized in the old church before it was deconsicrated and used as a hall.
When I rang my mum to ask how old my sister was when baptised, we were talking about functions that had been held in the old church hall and I remembered the Art book that I won as first prize in a painting competition held in the old church hall… the subject of that painting was man walking on the moon, my earliest international memory.
The rest of the page is random thoughts of a past way of life much different to what we know today…
I think that I need to go back and read Sharon’s post again before further filtering these ideas.
