Hi Tracy. I found you inspiring with all your posts and workshop at the library not that long ago if you remember me from that group of other keen writers like you. Were you born in Port Pirie as I have relatives who lived in Port Pirie who lost their son in WW1. My grandmother came from there with her family. Sadly, I never met Mary/Millie as my grandmother because she died while making a cup of tea for my Mother Clare and my dad Richard. Mum was pregnant with my third oldest brother James/Jim. Our grandmother died suddenly, from a cerebral haemmorrhage. Millie was a music teacher and not sure if she had any training back then to be a music teacher? I haven't checked this up yet, But I have done some research onto her dear brother who was killed in WW1 - beautiful photo of him on horse.
I did not expect you to end with Charles and Diana! But it made me remember their tour and when they drove past our house - it was a stinking hot day and we stood outside on the footpath for ages, checking ABC radio for updates. Diana was sitting on our side of the car :)

thanks for your lovely message, Catherine

I did not expect to end there either! I would have sat all day if I knew there were even a chance that Diana might be driving past my house
I love that blog post! Sadly the lead remains an issue, but there’s way more awareness now and a huge improvement on where it used to be
