I’m 52 years old and still have normal periods although they are sometimes irregular e.g. this December I had two periods within the same month. Is this the start of the menopause?

One of the most common first signs of the approach to the menopause is irregular periods so it is possible.

The best thing to do is to see your doctor, and they can test your hormone levels. That will give you a better idea of what is happening.
