Family Dining Kitchen Garden Intro

Our families came out to Australia on convict ships - my Mother does all the history of the family and that sort of thing, she's been chasing it up for a number of years.
She actually got it from her mother, so before her mother died she sat down and made a point of getting it on paper. Mum and Dad met in Sydney and so we lived out in Kingswood near Penrith and moved to Canberra when I was about eight or so.
Just grew up - we were living in the last suburb, in Belconnen. Ha! sorta seems pretty regular for Canberra people to buy in the latest suburb, so you've got no trees and no garden and paddocks all around you. Met Fran at a party. Had Gerad and then we were living in rented accommodation so we started out own little family.
