What your family went through for jobs and living arrangements! Oh and that poor bride! Great stories, Neera!

Hi Neera, we had a few dining tables during my early years, but one I remember is the one we played table tennis on, happy memories. Our dining table now was purchased so we could fit our family, albeit it has grown considerably, so extra tables need to be brought in these days. I didn’t have an autograph book but I have my grandmothers which is filled with fabulous sayings and drawings. I also went to a girl Guides, I did all the tests but rarely got awarded with my badges even though I passed. Not a great feeling even today. I couldn’t comprehend being ejected from accommodation, even though you were young and may not have totally understood, and I can imagine that you may well have been in tears writing that last paragraph.
