Nan and I chatted today about her recent 91st birthday. Join us as Nan recalls her 21st birthday and the celebrations with her family. Oh and Nan drops an F bomb! 

Our first episode back after lockdown! We recorded this a few weeks ago, when we could first see each other again. What started off as a discussion about the Peregrine Falcons of Melbourne, turned into something a lot deeper. Listen in as Nan gets real about death and dying and what she thinks is the secret behind a long, happy life.

We hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing holiday season however you chose to celebrate.

See you in 2021!

We took a little break from recording as the next story Nan has to share is quite long. So long in fact, we are going to split it over two episodes. This is a little teaser to introduce you to Mio, Nan's husband. 

Thanks for coming on this trip down memory lane with us. It's so important to preserve family memories and this is proving to be such a good way of doing that. Subscribe on your favourite podcast platform so you don't miss an episode.

Can you imagine leaving your home country at 18, with no concept of the language, country or people you were about to encounter? Well that is the story of my Great Grandmother, Frida Charlotte. Join us as Bernie shares what she remembers of her mother Frida, the brave woman who arrived in Australia from Germany in 1913 at age 18.

I've included a link here to the shipping record.

Join us as we have a chat about Melbourne in the 1950's and 60's. Nan recalls what it was like to have a King's Birthday Long Weekend, what changed in Melbourne with the arrival of post war immigrants, what she did for fun and fangirling over the Collingwood Football Team!

This episode will introduce you to Harold, Bernie's Dad, my Great Grandfather. A man with a work ethic like no other. It is evident through the tone in Nan's voice how much love she had for her Dad and it was beautiful to listen as she recounted her childhood stories.
