Tuesday 4 - We've got questions

We've Got Questions

 Welcome once again to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4.   It's nice to have you take part.

Here are some questions for you.....

1. Where did your mother and father grow up?

Dad grew up in Nelson at the top of New Zealand's South Island where he developed a love of boats and the sea. He made his living as a commercial fisherman.

Mum grew up In Greymouth on the South Island's West Coast. They met at a dance mum attended with her sister and brother-in-law.

2. Where did you grow up?

I grew up on the West Coast in Greymouth. Loved every moment of my childhood but it was quite isolated and a lot of people, me included, moved away for work.

3. What was your favorite meal your mother made? What is your favorite recipe to make?

We lived in my grandparent's home and the meal I always enjoyed most was the Irish stew my grandmother made followed closely by a full roast, mutton, potatoes, parsnip, pumpkin and peas. I've never been able to replicate my grandmother's Irish stew and wonder if that has to do with the long stewing process on top of a coal range.

4. What are the advantages you enjoy where you live?

Small town life. Not far to any amenities, 15 minutes into the city and 20 minutes to beach, lake, river or countryside. Not everyone's cup of tea but we enjoy it.

That's it from me just now.
