Welcome to my place. I was born Elizabeth Anne, on the 13th May 1955 at a place called Dunedin, which is in New Zealand. My Dad left home when I was three, sadly he died when I was 15yrs. So I cant say I knew him well.I have three brothers and three sisters.Im the one in the middle.My stepdad came into my life when I was 7yrs.This man was amazing. Let me tell you a little about him. He was bought up on a farm in Otago. When he was 18yrs he contracted Polio, leaving him paralysed from the waist down,this put him in hospital for a year. After this he moved to the city.When he was 36yrs he meet my Mum and within a week they were married. I speak of this man because he taught me so much. I guess because there were tasks he couldnt do, I became his helper.Together we worked well,everything from the garden to renovating the house,even concreting and fence building.Im so clever.SMILE
I started work when I was 15yrs.Working in a clothing factory where I proved to be very good at my trade.By the time I was 16 I was on adult wages. WOW. $28 a week.
I meet my husband when I was 22yrs. We have two girls Hollie, born on the 4th April 1982 and Annaliese Born on the 14th January 1988.Now I live in a small city in
New Zealand,I have lived here for ten years. I dont like it much here. I miss the
city I was born in and my friends from there.
I have travelled a bit. Going overland through Asia to the UK.
But that was the good old days. Since I can't travel now, I have found the net a wonderful place for meeting people, without leaving my lounge.
Of course not the best way but better than sitting here day after day talking to no one.
I'm not a computer person, but since my time here I have learnt quite a bit .... still no expert.....
I am a dressmaker by trade.
I have now been a chatter for 8 years. I must admit its almost been that long since I updated this my home page. Im sorry, *LOL* Ive almost forgotton how its done.
