They were a pommy migrant family who took over the corner milk bar (Beatty Ave/Malvern Road) when I was in grade 4 at Armadale state. She wrote little love notes to me in class and chased me like mad. I was keenly interested but acted otherwise, which is a game I've played all my life. What an idiot.R.H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04639593801088008224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-37106620194485699162010-09-16T23:48:52.647+02:002010-09-16T23:48:52.647+02:00Me too RH!

I never got to finish the last 2 letters as my mother disturbed my moment of creativity with a whack over the head.

When her mother who owned the shop was shown who I was she got hysterical. A milk shake was 20c in those days.

Considering that they were still together when they sold us the house in 2008 and had a baby due three months later might bode very well too!Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14994418.post-27399182232652326212010-09-15T01:18:00.333+02:002010-09-15T01:18:00.333+02:00We have initials carved in the concrete in front o...We have initials carved in the concrete in front of our house, Kath. <br /><br /> Several members of my family snuck out in the twilight after the workers had completed laying a fresh batch of concrete following their handiwork on the pipes below.<br /><br /> I like to think these initials, including my daughter and her husband's first initials, T and T, held together in a makeshift heart will last. <br /><br />Maybe sometimes the initialising of love can stand the test of time.
