I was a quiet little girl who just loved nature, I spent a lot of time with pets, watching the clouds, skipping & just playing
I went to South West Brunswick primary school. I loved school & had lots of friends. My brother Lindsay was 2 years older than me & we had to walk to & from school together every day. There was only one busier road to cross & back then not so much traffic, they drove slower too.
When I was about 7 we had a family holiday at the beach in Chelsea. I got really badly sunburnt & woke up with huge blisters about the size of a 50c piece. They were all over my back, shoulders & arms, I was in a lot of pain. Back then they put vinegar on burns & the heat of my burns made me smell like fish & chips. The next day was Christmas Day &...
Brunswick high. Most of my friends from primary school moved across to Brunswick high & I made some new friends too. My brother went to Brunswick tech so I was at the high school by myself, they were close to each other. My brother & I didn’t get on, he was a bully.
No, I finished school at the end of form 4, year 10 nowadays. I couldn’t wait to get out in to the big world, I was bored with school & girls weren’t encouraged to stay at school. The main career options for girls were, typist/secretary in a office, teacher, nursing or maybe working in a shop or factory. Women rarely went to university.
Getting married. My family life growing up wasn’t very happy so I was looking forward to starting a happy family of my own.
