Oh how lovely this is Brenda! Living on a farm is so magical when you are a child....everything revolves around the farm....seven days a week so it becomes the centre of your world. Beautiful countryside too, no wonder your heart is still there! Would love to read your poem too...illustrious ancestors too.
@brennieb I do know Brenda.....handed down through the family it gets in your bones! Any of your family carry on or where you all girls or doing other things. No Knowles farmers in this part of the world now, only in NZ isn’t that strange?
No. dad died very suddenly at 53.mum so distressed.she sold.no brothers.all our kids babies.hubbys doing other things.she sold too quick. Biggest mistake.she realised after.
@casablanca I will maybe post tomorrow. Busy day tomo..church service first.then a wreath laying and sis reading a poem at the grave.then exhibition in the hall.where we are helping.hope we get a good footfall.. Melanie who has organised it as worked so hard..wrote my poem very quick after we got home today.but was from the heart. Then we go Belgium early Monday !
