My grandmother's kitchen. Found this photo amongst her things. I'm guessing she took this photo not long after they moved in to this house in the early 60's.<br>Journalling reads: Nan’s kitchen - (address deleted).<br>I always loved Nan’s kitchen. Pink and blue, her two favourite colours, are everywhere. The floor is a combination of white, pink, blue and black linoleum tiles, the cupboard doors and drawers are painted pink and blue, alternating around the room. The bench top is a sunny yellow laminex, with chrome trim.<br>Nan’s kitchen was truly the heart of her home. She and Pa would read the paper at the table, entertain the grandkids, do the ironing, or just watch the portable television that sat on top of the lolly fridge.<br>When I was young, I would help Nan mince the meat for her meat pies, although I struggled to turn the handle on the old fashioned mincer. I would sit at the table and wait for the Anzac biscuits Pa cooked to come out of the oven, or watch as Nan stirred the big pot of home made sauce or mulberry jam.<br>In winter the family would fight to sit closest to the old fireplace with the glass door, and loved to drink cups of tea from a real cup and saucer. Nan made us mashed veggies, and served them for lunch. Lynne and Lisa drank Ovaltine so they could use the plunger.<br>In summer we would drink tank water, using the third tap on Nan’s sink to access it. We would wipe our hands on the tea towel hung in the drawers to dry, and raid the lolly fridge for barley sugar and acid drops.<br>We would sit on the chairs with the kangaroos carved in the back of them and make dolls from Nan’s dolly pegs. Pa would let us use the purple stamp pad from his office, and we would stamp pictures using the stamp set in the old tin trays. I spent my childhood in this kitchen.<br>The house has since been sold, and the current tenants told us of the terrible colour scheme in the kitchen – pink and blue cupboards, yellow bench top, and old pink, blue, white and black linoleum tiles. I am glad nothing has changed. This is still my Nan’s kitchen.<br>Thanks for looking if you're still with me!
