Ushaw Moor Needs your Memories

Been a little quite March on the Ushaw Moor Memories BLOG.

The BLOG relies on YOU to submit your memories.

My last request seemed to have sparked off a few comments/memories, specifically regarding "Throwing Money At Weddings", but the post had other posing questions, some of which were :

• Is there a special SMELL that provokes a certain memory in your life ?


• Which street did you grow up in ?


• What do you remember about going to school ?


• What was your favorite moment from school?


• What was your first job ?


• What were the special things that happened to you as you were growing up ?


• What was family life like when you were growing up?


• How did you celebrate holidays and special occasions?


• What changes have you noticed during your life in such areas as fashion, morality and technology?

Take 10 minutes out of busy day and answer some of these question, we would love to hear about them.
