A Wee Bit About Me & Mine

 
 

I was born and brought up in Cowdenbeath, Fifeshire, Scotland, oldest of 5 children, we had a good up bringing. Dad worked in the mines, [coal] Mum was always at home for us .I lost 2 brothers when they were  only weeks old, that was hard on mum and me because I was old enough to understand .
 I went to primary school and secondry modern, started work at 15yr.
 life was easy going, then I got interested in BOYS hummm !!!!!!,err wont go into that

Eventually I met Terry and it was love at first sight, he has an out-going easy personality,  where I was [can you believe ] quieter, **shy even**. we had our ups and downs as did most young couples, threw his ring at him once, heehee.

Meeting his parents was scarey for me, never been out of Scotland before, he is from England, Anyway I passed inspection ** I guess**. We  were married in 1960. Terry was in the Royal Navy so it was naval quarters for us..
In 1961 our daughter Karen was born and in 1965 we then had our son Richard. In 1970 Terry left the navy and to my horror wanted to emigrate to Australia. yikeeees!! me, who had never been on a plane.
       We all arrived in this strange new world, but, after a year. for me anyway, settled into a new life.

We have celebrated our Silver and Ruby anniversarys

Our son and daughter married and we now have 2  lovely grandchildren, Brennen 13yrs. and Amy nearly 11yrs.
