Wonderful memories of Alice, one of my Mallee Living Histories Storytellers. I had the pleasure of writing her life journey that began, with a story that was going to all about her beloved Ted. Eventually I was able to encourage her to tell me about a young Alice growing up in London. Many tears and lots a laughs, and I will always remember that laugh. A friend of my late mother’s from the good ole RSL years.
Rest in Perfect Peace Alice.🌹

“We’ll meet again,
Don’t know where, don’t know when”
This how I choose to remember my Granny Alice. A twinkle in her eye and a song in her heart. Always a fun person to be around. From her happy, singsong good mornings to her mischievous teasing, she always made us laugh and smile.
Granny Alice faced many challenges in her life, growing up in London during the Blitz and emigrating from England to Australia to start a new life and family to name a few. However, she made focusing on the positive sides of life a major part of her identity. She loved being around people and making sure others were having a good time like she was. Her big heartedness was evident for almost everyone she met. She had a knack of striking up conversations with strangers everywhere she went. From the supermarket to a taxi cab, you would often find her in a friendly chat someone she met moments earlier.
Granny Alice loved putting time into cooking for her family. Her love, care, and effort in this was impossible to overlook. Weeks before we were due to visit, she would be taking requests for meals she could cook for us when we got there. I have very happy memories of huge Christmas dinner spreads and yabby feasts at Fourthteenth Street. She even helped me develop a love of some old English fare like pickled eel, rabbit stew and ox tongue sandwiches. She loved seeing her family dig into her cooking and we showed our appreciation by over indulging.
Right now, I imagine her yelling out to Grandpa Ted to hurry up and bring in the laundry so they sit down and enjoy a beer and a smoke together. The thought of Ted and Alice being together again brings a smile to my face.
We love and miss you dearly, Granny Alice.

Some sunny day”
