Mums Memories 30's 40's

A Memory of Little Sutton.

My mother is 83 years old, she lived at No.1 St Georges Terrace, her name before marriage was Joan Cowlishaw. She lived with her father, Jack, who was a french polisher and mother Olive, an older brother William, and younger Anthony. My mother survived WW2 in Ledsham.The family came to Tasmania as ten pound poms directly after the war. My mother told me of walks at Bidston Hill with her dad, of bluebell walks and going to the grotto at Christmas time to buy a goose. Mum is frail and ill now, she never made it back to see home but I sort of already picture it in my mind. My husband and I will get to Little Sutton one day.
