Mum actually had many phases to her life beginning with her life in England, in the bush down south, as a housewife in the city and then her social work in later life. She never stopped.<br />I always enjoyed the story about Taylor and Tommy. One would have thought it would have turned out the other way but mum may have been correct when she said Taylor was just how you would expect a remittance man to appear to be. I was glad the cockney chap turned out trumps cos dad came from East London too.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-30619509837136616612015-02-09T18:43:23.556+08:002015-02-09T18:43:23.556+08:00I did have to ask EC as I don't want to boring...I did have to ask EC as I don't want to boring but obviously there is enough in mum's story to keep people's interests.<br />I think you can still keep chooks in some of our suburbs but probably not the posh ones. We still have our little chook house (now used for storage) and we're not sure if our bylaws still allow chickens to be kept and yet the lady next door did or still does have a few. I do really think that cows would be out now. : )Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-3255030091350448342015-02-09T18:40:34.967+08:002015-02-09T18:40:34.967+08:00Yes and I am amazed at how clear mum's memorie...Yes and I am amazed at how clear mum's memories were. She was in her early 80s when she wrote her book from which I am quoting.<br />Things were certainly so different for people back then.Mimsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00249766510078357225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-3209063024407034562015-02-09T18:39:29.504+08:002015-02-09T18:39:29.504+08:00Your message received loud and clear.

The story is now beginning to remind me of things my mum used to do to make a few extra dollars although much later in the 60s and 70s. <br />Sorry to hear about the loss of the milk when the boar appeared. That would have been hard to take. And that Taylor! A con man I'm sure.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-29881860405759131682015-02-09T03:47:40.760+08:002015-02-09T03:47:40.760+08:00Do you really have to ask?

The...Do you really have to ask? Continue. Please.<br />The livestock they kept made me think of 'Mugga Way' - our most prestigious street. Well it is now. When Canberra was designed the blocks there were bigger - so that the poorer people could keep some animals to keep the wolf from the door. Now, there are regulations about keeping chickens in the suburbs. You would have no chance of keeping a cow or two, much less pigs...Elephant's Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650565833097914052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2704657209559170713.post-57954190404334563102015-02-09T00:04:22.096+08:002015-02-09T00:04:22.096+08:00What a combination of memories here, Mimsie!
