Grandpa worked at Bournville Cadburys from the age of 16. There’s a staff shop where employees can buy inexpensive chocolate – he’d bring home pound paper bags of hazelnut whirls. After he died, Grandma who had a “Widows card”, took us and treated us to lunch in the employee’s cafe.

At their home, one filled with so much love and comfort, relaxing, old, but full of such happy times, where there seemed no worries in the world.

I just love sitting with my pop in their lounge watch telly.

When we were young we’d have family get togethers at the beach including the Grandparents, Aunties, Uncles and Cousins. Wonderful memories!

When my pop was alive, he loved on a lake and we would spend a lot of time on they jetty or out on his boat.

Their friends place in Nowra.. On the coast – it always felt like a haunted house.. it was equally exciting and terrifying,

We love to go to the lake for a walk

Their home. We only see them a handful of times a year as they live six hours away, but we cherish the opportunities we get to spend together.

Their house, so many great memories of the garden and all the unique things at their place.

We went on a holiday to Stradbroke Island and I had the best memories there. Will never forget.

Picking fresh fruit from the garden we all adore
To make culinary delights, treats and so much more
Cooking in the kitchen together is a pleasure
Sharing them with friends and family, a treasure
Lots of smiles, happiness and joy all around
A blessing when love beautifully enlightens and surrounds.

Parks near their home in Melbourne

I never met any of my grandparents. I myself like to go on nature walks with my grandson. Kids minds are so inquisitive and they’re so excited by nature. Each walk is a new adventure

My favourite Childhood memory was going to Nonno’s and Nanna’s house, Nonno taking us to his very proud vegetable garden. He would the give us a carrot each once he washed it

My grandparents never looked after me. Although I did love going to their houses. My mums parents had a huge cubby we would all play in and a swing set. My pop lived in the desert and we once dug an underground garage in a hill.

Growing up my grandpa ran me around to most of my after school activities. Some of those were in nearby towns. I remember those pretty special road trips to towns like Gulgong. He would then come inside and watch my sister and I dance in Eistedfords.

Going to their Homes, One lot of grandparents livid by the beach, so we would be exploring all days long, the other livid near the city, so they would take us to the city to go exploring, both were Awesome.

My husband is yet to be a grandpa but is very close to happening with our daughter getting married next year!!! so when they come to visit us on the farm will be extra special!!

Their house is my favourite place because my grandparents are there and I get spoilt with snacks and love

Their garden, my nans garden was magical. Completely different world.
