Here is my post for Share Your World, hosted by Di.

Did your parental home have a ‘parlour’ or front room reserved only for when you had visitors?
No! I always feel houses like that are a bit “creepy”. Imagine being the honoured guest forced to sit in a seldom-used special room. You’re bound to be so nervous you’ll drop crumbs and spill your tea.

Did you ever go to stay with relatives during the school holidays?
Every summer holidays we stayed with Gran in Lossiemouth in north Scotland for two weeks. Lovely memories 🙂

Did relatives (cousins, grandparents) come to stay with your family in the holidays?
Every Christmas Gran (the afore-mentioned Scottish granny) came to stay with us.

What do you remember from the 1960s.
Nothing. I don’t remember a single second of the two and a half months I lived in the 60s.

Alternative question for readers who were born later than I was (1956) – What decade do you remember the most about?
The last decade, as memories fade. My most fondly-remembered decade was the 70s I guess as I was a kid and I’m looking at it through rose-tinted spectacles. All I remember are sunny summer holidays and no responsibilities.
