My brothers and I would often spend a week or two of the school holidays staying with Aunty Rosie in her relative's home in Pymble. My brothers would wander around the creek in the gully. I have fond memories of toasting bread on a long fork over the wood stove in the kitchen. We really enjoyed staying there.
On one occasion we had our shoes drying in front of the open fireplace in the lounge room and discovered they'd been singed. So Aunty Rosie filed an insurance claim.
Our cousins, James and Joey, would take us to the woods across from the house. I remember James' excellent embroidery work - so unusual for a young man at the time.
Aunty Rosie had a huge frangipani tree in the front garden. My mum would get cuttings but was unsuccessful in growing them in our yard at Campsie (not until years later did that happen).
