Hen Marie Kelly from Upper Kuma. What do you remember
about your grandparents?
Speaker 6 (03:20):
I have such great memories. I used to live in
New Zealand on an island called Wahiki Island, and my
my nana and my granddad. They had quite a lot
of land. So my granddad had built us a big
tree swing, so it was like just a big rubber tire.
It was just so much fun. And then he used
(03:42):
to have upholstery like a little office downstairs, and for
my cousin Emma and I would play offices and have
all of his little bits of leather and a telephone
and right down the orders just to pretend. Also, my
nana had two dogs, Holly and Trudy, and at two
o'clock would have cup of tea times and they would
(04:02):
actually have cups of tea in their big bowls with
the big triangle biscuits. Oh yeah, yeah. So just lots
of great fun memories. And Nana always bakes and she
still does. My grandfather's not here with us anymore, but
we always have those lots of memories. And then one
thing that whenever anything was ready, like his lunch or
(04:25):
breakfast or anything, would have to stomp our feet three
times really really hard, saying you an't just ready, and
we're all just stand bang bang for them here to
hear and come up.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
The God what beautiful memories.
Speaker 6 (04:40):
Yeah, so amazing, love them to bits. My name is
ninety now and she's literally like she seems about over seventy.
Speaker 1 (04:47):
You know, she's still in the same place.
Speaker 6 (04:50):
Yeah, oh no, no, no, we all lived it well
with my cousin and my auntie and my mom and them,
they all live together.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
And she still bakes.
Speaker 6 (04:58):
