We visited Uncle Alex with Granny when he lived at Marino Rocks - we never went into his home but we use to take lunch and play on the beach and Granny use to visit her brother and have afternoon tea.
Aunt Rit was a quiet, shy lady who kept house at Sturtbrae, when visiting Aunt Rit use to serve us afternoon tea in the dinning room which had a huge table and always a white table cloth. Aunt Rit did all of the cooking and use to have jam, preserves in the cellar.
Aunt May was great fun, we visited often with my grandparents Hugh and Everlina (nee Mills) Patterson. The house at Sturtbrae was at the bottom of a long dirt track with a gate at the top which now is Shepherd Hill Road.
Aunt May gave me one of my first references in 1968-69 which I still have.
I can remember Aunt May being very interested in our education, walking around Sturtbrae and cleaning out the creek.
She also had a blue sports car.
Aunt May was my mothers Aunty and my great Aunt:
Anne Saunders (nee Moran)
