We went back to Gordon Library to have a little look see and a long read about all 16 of us who did the first Oral History Project for Ku-ring-gai. Here's some more photos.
We just can't help ourselves... Watching a recorded episode of 'Home Fires' on telly last night I spotted this sign and of course we have one on our wall.

Hurray! We have another Pet!
So we've had Milly the Water Dragon for several years, Molly the dog next door for a couple of years and Mandy the Kookaburra for about 9 months... and now we have Billy the Blue Tongue Lizard.
I've called him Billy because we have Milly Molly and Mandy... Billy Blunt is Milly Molly Mandy's friend in the books :-) she has another friend called Little-friend-Susan but that would be just too confusing wouldn't it!
Actually talking about Milly! She's been naughty, she climbs up onto the Pergola around the flowering Wisteria and is catching and eating the bees that are enjoying all the flowers!
We need the bees Milly... do no eat! they can't be good for you can they?

Today is our Anniversary! 46 years ago today we moved into this beautiful old home
This is what our home looked like back on the 20th of September 1971, that's my Falcon Station Wagon out the back.
Below is how I looked when moving in... The Apron was David's idea of a joke gift for my Mum Rosie, she quickly passed it on to me and I still have it!!! Yay! Nerys was due four days later but didn't arrive until 9 days after the due date.
Below is how our home looked back in 1930 when it was first built by John Witter, my friendly Ghost, that's his brand new Buick down the side
This is what our home looked like back in 1943... middle of three homes, ours was called 'Glenwood'.
I've bought an Anniversary Gift for us all!

We had a visit from Mandy last week and just now Milly came to say Hello! It must be the warming up weather.
Haven't heard Molly barking from next door today, but I know she's still there.

I've really been enjoying scanning and posting these almost, fifty year old Newsletters from Wollogorang.
Back in the 1930's / 40's / 50's / 60's my Great Uncle John and his siblings owned and ran 'Wollogorang Pastoral Company' which comprised 5 Properties in Southern NSW. I spent many a very happy time staying then eventually working at the largest property, 'Wollogorang'.
I remember these Newletters which started back in 1958 because my mum Rosie drew the covers for some of the later additions.
When I started reading these precious things I rang the State Library who jumped at the chance of including them in their archives but David Crisp doesn't want to part with them just yet so this is why I'm scanning etc! I know my extensive family will enjoy reading them at their leisure as much as I am now.
My Great Uncle John had a very dry sense of humour which comes out in some of these written words and I just love it. Not only do these record rainfall, crop production, sheep and wool production they also have a Safety section, there is always a Recipe and some kids jokes and at the end is the personal column saying who is staying on the Properties, who is visiting elsewhere and many other fascinating topics... Just look at this little gem below :-)
