Menory Lane - An Island Adventure - 11

...That mention of the silvered water?  It'll be here on Saturday... meanwhile, thank you for your patience as I recalled this beautiful memory...


Menosunday - Life Lived Easy

Once again I bring you Lord Howe Island - it IS paradise after all!!!  This one is nearly half an hour and is more about hearing from the locals.  It has been 20+ years since I was there, but the residents are many generations there and some of these folk I met... even if just a 'hello'.


Hope you enjoyed that and that it brought a little sunshine and fun to your day!

Menory Lane - An Island Adventure - 3

The whole of this particular menory lane trip could as easily be labeled 'menosukhi' because it was such an incredibly 'filmy' experience and will always be a treasured memory.  I hope you are enjoying the journey as it gets relived on these pages!

Menory Lane - An Island Adventure - 1

Well it's time to get on with a little more about the Australian chapter in life. It had begun in 1989 (don't think I gave the date of emigration). There was the two years of uncertainty as the residency permits had to be all mucked around with . The settling in to working life and establishing an identity in a new situation. It was not all work and worry though.  There were side trips.

Recently, Aitch was clearing out some old files and came across a few letters I had sent from those early years...do you remember those things?  One of them triggered the memory of a most wonderful time I spent on a holiday with mother - just she and me - which I had already been wondering how to share with you.

Then yesterday the scanner went into overdrive.  You are about to find out why...am not sharing all of it, just most; (this could take a while, just warnin' ya...) Thankfully, my writing at that time was half-way legible.

First, the snippet of letter which set me on this tack;




























...and now for the adventure...
