Did you get any pictures ?

I would pay to see anyone skiing on a Walkman rather than skis, never mind Kim.

No. It was long before GoPros.

I have a really strong memory of deliberately leaning over the edge of a bridge on the Manchester to Sheffield railway line just as a steam train was passing underneath and getting a face full of smoke and steam. If I'm half awake and think about it, I can still taste the smoke and smell the coals, and hear my mother telling me not to be so silly. I must have been 4 or 5 at the time. Although I'm technically old enough to have done this it has to be a fake, but very persistent and real, memory.

I once stood in a field and waved to the Beetles as they went past in a steam train according to my mum .

When I was little the Nolan Sisters came for dinner. I think I remember it as I can picture where we sat around the diner table, but it could just me putting together a later memory of the dining room layout, the fact that the Nolans did come for dinner and that I have seen pictures of what they looked like.

Watching boats climb up the locks on the Forth and Clyde canal to reach its highest point at Maryhill rd.
Probably when I was 4.
The canal closed not long after this.

My sister invited "Racy" to the only house party she had at home
