Earlier on i got a memory from a life that i know very little about. In this memory i was walking along a kind of promenade on a very hot day. I was walking arm in arm with a man on my right, and i was holding an umbrella in my left hand. It was sunny, so i imagine that the umbrella was to protect me from the sun? To my left is a little girl, maybe 3 or 4 years old who i feel is my daughter, but i don't think the man is her father.
Off in the distance, i can see a row of tall, 3 or 4 storey houses, and behind them is a tall smoke stack. On my left i can see what looks like hundreds of boat masts, maybe a harbour, and beyond that, is the sea. There's a small sandbank island with a few trees on it out in the sea.
The man is wearing light beige colored pants and a dark blue jacket, with a small flat rimmed straw hat. I'm wearing a long dark brown skirt, but it's pulled right up so that the waistband is right under my breast. I think i must be wearing a corset, because i can feel
a lot of tightness around my waist. I'm also wearing a big hat, that kind of triangular, with feathers, or something similar in it.
The little girl is wearing a satin pink dress with frills everywhere, and her hair is all blonde ringlets and ribbons. I'm sure i've seen her in a flash of a memory before.
Then i fast forward a bit, and the little girl is in between me and the man, i'm holding one of her hands, and the man is holding the other. She takes a few big steps forward, and then between us, we lift her so that her feet are off the ground, then we carry her along for a bit, before letting her down, then we keep repeating this, all the time she is screaming with laughter.
Just before it all ends, i remember seeing a clock tower, and the time is 2.20.
I felt that this was a memory from my life in the early 1800's. I've only had 2 memories from this life, in one i was on board an old wooden sailing ship as a servant girl, in the other one i was a maid working for an old lady in a big house, and i feel sure that i'm in England
somewhere.
In this most recent memory, i felt as though i was trying to portray myself as a very upper class person, but not doing a very good job of it..
