Message Board Post:
I had to have a giggle over your comment about liking alcohol as it's true. Many a
'hoolie' was held. When visiting Uncle Allan and Auntie Millie - as an adult -
sherry was nearly always offered and my Uncle used to make homebrew.
The lounge in their home generally had the door shut, especially after it had been
cleaned. Auntie Millie was very fastidious about a clean / tidy home without her
windowsills being cluttered - especially in the kitchen.
With my father being a musician they generally had their own live music. When partying
with my uncle and aunt the children usually were put to bed in the house until it was time
to go home - not that you slept much with the combination of the escalating party noise
and cousins chatting as they do.
Auntie Millie's funeral was held at Avondale and we went to the New Lynn RSA for
drinkies etc afterwards.
