Our Weatherboard in PrestonThe following article was contributed following a reminiscences session held at Watsonia library May 2008, on the topic “Around the house”.

We did not have all mod. cons., however, life was very simple and despite the drawbacks we had our enjoyable times.

Toilet was a distance from the house, on its own. We had an old-style family room. Betty T. May 14 2008 Links (more ...) |
