I’ve had the tape on over and over. All my family were on…..including me as a 4 year old singing my party piece. There was a good old sing song being sung. At the end everyone said night and god bless. Hearing the individual voices saying that brought me in floods of tears……happy tears tinged with a bit of sadness. It’s so lovely to have.January spends - £587.584

How wonderful. I remember making tapes to send to our grandparents, but I’ve no idea what became of them. Such a lucky find 🥰Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien

Thanks everyone. It was in 1962 and my eldest brother had a new reeled tape recorder. It must have been the first time it was used for a family tape….my uncle and auntie were there for the occasion 😂😂 Various people said something like what shall I say I can imagine….
or…….are they distant memories of the mike being passed around 😂😂 so it turned into a real old sing song 😂😂January spends - £587.582 -
My leg had felt quite weird. A couple of times it’s gone to give on me so I’ve taken it very easy…..I did have a bad night though and am tired and my leg still tremors sometimes if I’m tired and that’s before it’s pumped with steroids 😏January spends - £587.582

How lovely to hear their voices. We have a family tape like that with me saying every colour was pink and my dad laughing. Great memories to keep.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.1
