My oldest sister was in the air force. 

other sister were in the army.

progressive women in those days.

It was easy. It was easy. 

Easy to get jobs. 

There was no trouble at all not like it is now. 

loved my working days. 

loved short hand and typing. 

our main pleasure would be on Boxing Day. 

have a regatta down on the esplanade. That was good fun. 

 wear our new paten shoes and our new dress. New hat and all. 

Then we often had visitors come like a relative, 

my mother’s sister or someone that would visit us for Christmas. 

Then we all used to have trips up to the salmon ponds.
