MY AUTOBIOGRAPHY - MY EARLIEST MEMORIES

It was a beautiful summer's day and the birds were singing sweetly

like a church choir of angels. My elder brother, Narvair suggested to

my mother and father to go birthday shopping for presents as it was

nearing my fifth birthday.

As we sauntered down the long drive to the blue Vauxhall Cavalier, the

blazing sun almost blinded us. We could feel the intense heat so much

that sweat was pouring down our faces. As we travelled and approached

the motorway, I enquired about our destination, but I was informed

that it was a surprise.

On the way we passed many fields where there were numerous horses,

sheep and cows were grazing. In the far distance I could see the roofs

of many houses and the tall pointed steeple of a church. Through the

sun roof I could see the cloudless calm blue sky. As we left the

motorway, I realised that we were heading for Meadow Hall. At this

moment I was full of excitement, but this soon fizzled away, as it

took such a long time to find a parking space.

Eventually we entered the large, brightly lit shopping mall,

jam-packed with people hustling and bustling in and out of the shops.

I immediately held my mummy's hand in case I strayed away. As we tried

to pass the people I peeked through any small spaces in between the

busy bodies looking for toy shops. Further along the mall, my grip

loosened on my mum's hand, as my attention drew towards my brother.

Whilst playfully tussling with my brother, I kept a close eye on my

mum and dad's whereabouts. My mum entered the clothes shop and my dad

browsed the sports shop adjacent to it. As we were playing, a bouncy

ball f...

...rting me, my parents and my brother marched on towards the

toy shop.

I ran into the toy shop like a charging bull with my brother, but my

mum insisted that I calmed down. Still excited I tried to take in all

the toys around but eventually I carefully chose a special edition

Action Man. It was a large present with many gadgets such as recording

radio and a firing machine gun. I had been longing for this present

and could not let anyone else handle it. I was really proud and could

hardly wait for my birthday, so that I could play with it amongst my

other toys. This made me the happiest five years old in the world.

To this day I have still kept the Action Man in excellent condition

and working order. Even now it is a pleasure to play with it, although

I remember how I found my self lost in the huge shopping Mall.
