neighbours

My Parents and I lived in Australia for over 18 years.During those years several of my Maternal Aunts/Uncles and cousins had also moved to South Australia. When I worked for a Northamptonshire based Company in the 1990's my colleague was planning a trip to visit her Aunt who had emigrated to South Australia in the 1950's too. We chatted about the Aussie life-style and where she would be visiting. I was amazed to learn she was to stay in the same suburb as my Aunt where each road or street on a small housing development built in the 60's uses a female Christian name. Australia is a big country and the chances of that may be slim BUT her Aunts house shared my Aunts back-fence too and the two Ladies had chatted to each other over the fence during those many years of being neighbours .
