Hons and Rebels

in Life, Law & Culture
Barely a day goes by right now without an event occurring that makes us stop and think, ‘Oh dear’. In erratic and uncertain times such as these, I am drawn to think of times past. Whilst history does not repeat, it can instruct and be a source of comfort and inspiration. At my dear Mum’s insistence, I took to her favourite book of all time, a yellowed and much fingered copy of Hons and Rebels by Jessica Mitford.

Gerry’s Gold 2

in Life, Law & Culture
A very Happy Democracy Sausage Day indeed on Saturday, 8 March 2025! After voting, along I went to the second iteration of Gerry's Gold. The legend goes, Gerry buried gold next to his property, somewhere between this laneway and Holland Street, we think. While we look for it, we might as well meet our neighbours and listen to banging local tunes. I did wonder what kind of turn out we might expect after all the earlier queueing to cast one's vote for the State election. Some may have gone postal beforehand…
