I can remember us kids choping wood & lighting the fire in the mornings also sweeping the floors & washing up before going to school.We had it easy as one lad had to walk out  12/13km  with his fathers food & back every day before school.

Thinking of another trick song ... anyone remember it? I think it's more from my mum's or her mum's time as she used to sing it to us 2 little girls in blue lad, 2 little girls in blue They were sisters we were brothers and learned to love them true, But one little girl in blue lad, she won my father's heart, Became my mother I married the other But now we've drifted apart. So who married who?.

Mtnlane thanks soooo mnuch for the link....I'd never thought to look on Youtube. It's very sentimental for me and  brought me to tears as it was one of mum's (passed) favourite songs and for some reason I used to sing it to my cat who's just passed.  Judging by the comments on Youtube it reduced a few others to sniffles as well. 

Darki, it's always confused me, each time I think I've worked it out I'm wrong.  One of the sisters became his brother's mother? So would have been his mother too.  So if the singer married the other then he married their aunty?  Sorreeeee,   it's driven me nuts for years.  😮 

Aaaarrrggghhhh panda, now I am confused.

My grandmother used to play that on the piano when I was a little kid and althought I haven't heard it for a zillion years I can still recall her clearly sitting at the piano and singing along with the music.  🙂

Gosh it's cold down here at 11˚  Not our usual summer at all, but at least I have been able to plant out a whole lot of grevilleas and that's great.
