For the Flashback Friday challenge last week to scrap a story without a photo.Journaling reads:Starting when I was about nine years old, I would spend two weeks every summer staying with my two great aunts just as my mum had done when she was a child. Aunty Glad & Uncle Polly lived next door to Aunty Win and Uncle George (back in the 30s they had purchased their homes not knowing that they would be next door neighbours). Neither of them had children of their own so to go and stay with them was to get very spoilt for the whole time! I would spend one week at Aunty Glads and one week at Aunty Wins, plus we would go and visit Aunty Doll and cousin John sometimes who lived not far away. I remember many fun days - cups of tea in bed in the mornings reading the letters my mum had written to Aunty Glad as a girl, making butterfly cupcakes, going to the movies (Mary Poppins was a favorite at the time), they even took me to the swimming pool, after much begging on my part, although afterwards they said they were terrified they’d have to jump in and try to save me if I got in trouble - they couldn’t swim at all. Both of them had worked in a ribbon factory and they had boxes upon boxes of ribbon that I loved to sort by color and then iron! (Who would have thought - I avoid ironing anything like the plague now.) John, my cousin, would come over for the day once in a while and we would play Snap, Happy Families and Old Neighbor all day. My absolute favorite day of each visit though was the day we would take a coach trip down to one of the seaside resorts on the south coast. There was always a pier with merry go rounds, slides, a helter skelter, even a trampoline once and the final treat of the day would be to get a Knickerbocker Glory before coming home on the bus. You may wonder what that might be - let’s just say an ice cream treat that was far more decadent than a banana split! When I think back now, I realize just how lucky I was to have such wonderful aunts.Supplies by Julia Makotinsky of Little Dreamer Designs - Kaleidoscope, French Country and Fresh Lemonade
