Cheese for everyone

I've spent the day at the hospital again, although this time, thankfully, it wasn't because I'd suffered an injury! In fact, today's visit was as a result my wife being concussed by an 8lb piece of Wensleydale which fell onto her head from a height. She suffered a hairline skull fracture, a detached retina and quite a large loss of blood, but the doctors are reasonably confident that she should pull through eventually.

I've got my fingers crossed now that there isn't another bit of misfortune tomorrow. They say that trouble comes in threes, let's hope it doesn't also come in cheese!

Meanwhile, on a more positive note, elsewhere on this site a visitor calling him or herself "Crackerbarrel" suggests a new thread about people's earliest memories of cheese. So what are YOUR earliest recollections of this miraculous yellow foodstuff? Speaking for myself, I have a very strong memory of being given some of it to eat when I was a child.
