MANY YEARS AGO WHEN UNDERTAKING AN ARTS DEGREE AT SYDNEY UNIVERSITY MAJORING IN PSYCHOLOGY AND ECONOMICS, I HANDED IN AN ESSAY IN MY PSYCHOLOGY CLASS ARGUING THE CASE AS TO WHICH SHAPED A PERSON MOST - HEREDITY OR ENVIRONMENT. AS AN "OH SO WISE" SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD MY ESSAY CAME OUT STRONGLY ON THE SIDE OF THE ENVIRONMENT, I.E. NURTURE!
NOW AS A MOTHER OF FIVE, GRANDMOTHER OF SIX I WOULD WRITE A VERY DIFFERENT ESSAY!
OUR YOUNG ONES ARE BORN SUCH INDIVIDUALS - WE AS PARENTS JUST GO ALONG FOR THE RIDE!

I WEAR MANY HATS
Today I am wearing my Grandmother hat. This weekend I attended the 1st birthday party of my youngest grandchild, Henry. Just a family affair but with 5 adult children and their partners and kids we make quite a crowd. My daughter served simple beautiful food she had made herself and, in a small sunny back garden in Tempe in Sydney, the world seemed pretty good. I counted my blessings.
