Newcastle Downunder

Sheila

This is my Aunt Sheila (on my fathers side).  She has been called a gypsy as she doesn't believe in setting down roots or at least that certainly has been the case in recent years. 

She was born in Newcastle and grew up in the Country.  She married "the old boy" and had 7 children who are scattered all over the country.  The first being twin boys.    She has married again twice.  Her second husband cheated on her and her third was a hoarder.

When she moved to Newcastle about 5 weeks ago she organised it all and got the train from Orange to Newcastle having to change at Strathfield.  She is a little unsteady on her pins with a balance problem but sharp as a tack.   

We had lunch together today - I cooked her roast pork with all the trimmings.  I then took her on a little drive around the foreshore (which was a carpark today) before taking her home.  We saw quite a few whales but none in close.  The seas are still up too.  She's not bad for 94 is she!
