My photo of the Wells family cottage in Port Fairy, |
The little wooden sign painted with a shaky hand (using the
olive paint left from the outside loo) advertised the goods and prices to the passers-by.
He'd always gardened, as had his father before him. The 'green thumb' had been handed on, and he was the lucky one of the five children. Was it a help? Definitely, it meant he'd been able to start work quickly once they found a cottage in their new hometown, named after Belfast in Ireland.
