23rd February, 2009 - Ten Moments I Remember #1

I am in the mood for reminiscing, so you will just have to indulge me. Of course, you could always choose not to read any further. Go on. I dare you. Turn your laptop off.

No? Oh well. Come with me down memory lane.

I think my earliest joyful memory is being with my dad at St Andrews, on a day when the sky was as blue as heaven, and my soft little hand was being squeezed in his big strong, golfer’s hand. I can feel my knuckle bones crunching around under my skin, and I’m laughing.
We are singing “The Bare Necessities” which, now that I come to think of it seems rather apt. And I am singing my heart out under the blue blue sky in sunshine that seems to be composed almost entirely of rays of happiness.
