Blue due to the wallpaper on the staircase

I can’t remember😮. Perhaps my memory will be jogged. I can remember the colour of the piano stool, but that doesn’t count. I can remember the bed cover colours, and colours of various clothes.

Bright orange, yellow and brown - those were the colours my mum used for the curtains in our new house in 1967!
The carpet had those colours in it too- great for hiding dirt, not that my mum would ever have let anything get dirty!

Dark green and brown from the early days, everything seemed to be those colours in my home and other people’s.
I remember we had brown Lino in the hallway with dark green skirting boards.

I actually lived in 7 homes prior to reaching 12!

So many different memories and colours.

When we moved to house number 7 when twelve, we had a huge modern kitchen with (awful) bright orange units, burgundy sofas and velvety curtains and embossed wallpaper.

I do remember in one of my bedrooms (cannot remember which one) I had horsey wallpaper (I was horse obsessed), l never owned one, but rode from age 8 to late teens.
