My Auntie Gert, 27 Dec 1907 - 26 November 1992, married my mother’s brother Phillip Douglas Cottam. She died at 84 years of age, just a month off 85.
We loved to visit our cousins and Aunt and Uncle at Sandmount. We would walk across this lovely orange earth to the innovative home-designed chook sheds. Dad and Uncle Phil would chat away there, whilst we watched all the chooks under the low roof of the poultry farm.
