So many things I would rather forget. But the kindness of some adults that were near me at times and my trips to my grandmother's brownstone apartment on Moffat Street in Brooklyn are memories that I vividly recall. With pleasure and love.<br /><br />Meike and I are going to get together and meet you somewhere and make you write a book!!! You can write and Meike will handle the editing of the manuscript for you and I will do the cooking and cleaning and the making you feel safe and unstressed until you get the book done. But you better start writing ahead of the time we get there because we can't stay long. We do have our own lives to lead, you know. So...get cracking!!!Peace Thymehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17361079101751470855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-64900103967976057812018-05-31T17:16:36.483+01:002018-05-31T17:16:36.483+01:00You have a wonderful memory!

We have some great place names in England too such as Pratt's Bottom. Cockintake, Faggot, Sandy Balls and Shitterton.

First, in Varley Street, Yorkys Knob.....the site below will give you the history of the area.<br /><br />The name...Yorkeys Knob was named after a gentleman from Yorkshire..<br /><br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yorkeys_Knob,_Queensland<br /><br />"Yorkeys Knob got its name from George Lawson, a Yorkshire-born, Cairns-based beche-de-mer fisherman. On 10 June 1886 Yorkey Lawson reported the loss of a man and his wife from Green Island. They had left to visit the wreck of the Upolu, intending to return the same day. Lawson made a search for them, but was unable to find any trace of them, not even an accident. The pilot cutter was sent to search for the couple.<br /><br />Yorkeys Knob is coastal suburb with predominantly low-lying land (less than 10 metres above sea level) with the exception of the hill (known as Yorkeys Knob) rising to 60 metres on the coast at Yorkeys Point. The northern part of the suburb near the coast is residential, but the majority of the land use is rural...principally the growing of sugarcane."Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-29497287185809285692018-05-31T14:10:03.800+01:002018-05-31T14:10:03.800+01:00After reading this colourful post I conclude that ...After reading this colourful post I conclude that people in General seem slightly more bland than they used to. Maybe because we don't interact as much as we used to.<br />My aunt, who died last year aged 90 was a real character, as mad as a box of frogs and most definitely eccentric!<br />I enjoyed this post very much.
