Is there a season that takes you straight back to childhood? What memory comes up?

A natural way to answer

For me it's winter. The first proper cold snap always takes me back to my grandmother's kitchen, with soup on the stove. Those memories have a certain warmth to them, even though it's a cold season. They've really stood the test of time.
