I think that what I saw as frustration was possibly partly reluctance about me having a go.

We were in Qld visiting family friends, I remember a brown fence, the daughter from the other family, who was a year older than me, and that something dramatic happened. We had been leaning over the fence and she got bitten by a donkey. I don't remember the donkey though.<BR/><BR/>Clearer memories are of my grand parents when I was 3.<BR/>1. "Helping" my grandpa do gardening/landscaping along my parents drive.<BR/>2. Lying in the paddling pool with grandpa (and possibly my grandma)<BR/>3. Lying on a yellow banana lounge with my grandma.<BR/>4. Wanting to have a go when my grandpa was showing my older brothers how to make "roll your owns". I can remember that my hands were so small that I could fit all my fingers along the length of the cigarette paper. I couldn't understand why the tobacco was staying in lumps. My grandpa was a bit frustrated with me but let me have a go.<BR/><BR/>My grandparents lived in England and this was the only trip my grandpa made to Australia after I was born. He died the next year. Stomach cancer. Too many rollies?KitKathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08731254751735634267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115935.post-60160710428473612032007-11-22T17:50:00.000+11:002007-11-22T17:50:00.000+11:00If you can get Beep blogging again, you'll be my h...If you can get Beep blogging again, you'll be my hero...:)Plonkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01552546816593027504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7115935.post-88804388670816743172007-11-22T00:44:00.000+11:002007-11-22T00:44:00.000+11:00Astria, you could be right.
