I have looked at old photos to research information for my writing assignment. It was great to see the photos again because it prompted my memory about so many things I had forgotten. One of them cashew apples. We had a cashew tree in our yard – you couldn’t eat the nuts without baking but the fruit was really yummy.
I found this photo of my Mum taken in 1983. She traveled by bus from Victoria to Fitzroy Crossing to be there when I gave birth to my third son. That is an incredible distance to travel by bus – around 3500 miles. Unfortunately I didn’t get to see much of her as I was in hospital a lot longer than anticipated. I think I spent one or two days with her and then she caught the bus home again! What a woman :-). She was in her early sixties at the time.
Now, back to that assignment!
Ah! The old rotary clothes line!
I can remember swinging on one like this in my parent’s back yard.
Yes they were popular. I wasn’t sure about posting the photo when I realized Mum’s nickers were on the line 🙂
I wish I had a cashew apple tree in our yard.
Thanks for reading, Ranu 🙂
Great photo and story about your mom!
Never saw a cashew nut tree.
Wouldn’t it be nice to spin back the wheels of time for a quick visit?
Sure would 🙂
