    Glad the procedure went well Milann and hurrah for new pants making you feel more confident! 

    Looking forward to hearing all about the tape too - and sorry that your brother wasn't well enough to cope with listening to it, that must be tough to see.

    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.

    How wonderful. I remember making tapes to send to our grandparents, but I’ve no idea what became of them. Such a lucky find 🥰

    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 😂😂

    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 😏

    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.
