Don @donscns and Jim @dorbitz When I grow up I am going to be a Gypsy LOL Hang on!!!! I always said I wasn't going to grow up 😆 😆 😆
Gail @songbreeze I looked for your lovely item but did not find a match anywhere.
George @george as a young girl we would spend winter holidays with my grandfather on his property and he never had electricity or any mod cons. I loved it!! All us kids loved it. What I would really love now is to have all those DDG lamps we used back then, And his furniture etc. I loved the big wood stove that had that huge castiron kettle with tap on it ( antique hot water system LOL) The Fire was always going, food was always cooking. Water was a bit restrictive as he only had tank water. I look back and now know what hard work it was for Mum when we went on holidays there, with 5 kids , often one or two of us also bringing a friend, plus our dogs, All washing boiled up in the copper over a fire, out in the paddock and washed by hand. When we'd get there she would scrub all floors in the house on hands and knees and then polish them. Her little trick to buff them was to have us kids on hessian bags and drags us all around. She made it like a game. When she tried out she'd leave us to it, dragging each other around on the bags. That was the only time we were ever allowed to play inside there LOL... MEMORIES I could go on forever 🙂
Shelly @shellyrae37 I have always been reasonably independent. I was on my own for a number of years raising my dd. But I have always had friends and family around me.
