I know Phyllis, anyone living abroad leaves a piece of her/his self behind at least New Zealand is a good country very similar in it's ways to here. I have family who live in Kent and I hardly ever see them...never mind. We'll keep adding to the list. All the best...Sue

Yes! we were part of the 10.00 brigade. I remember walking up the gangway onto the boat and thinking what an adventure. The sight of the streamers breaking and sound of 'Now is the Hour'. I still cannot hear that song or tune without my mind going back to that day. The desperate sobs of my mother, knowing that she would not see her father again, and a month later letters telling us that G'grandma Morgan had died and so too my father's mother [she was brokenhearted]

I was 12, Sue, and it was all adventure, it took me years to realise what I had missed out on, when having my own chn, missing every family wedding, funeral et al, all the things and events that bring a family together, and still today... I am Welsh to the very core of me, every single day my mind turns to home. NZ is fine, and I enjoy living here. As a country it has been very good to our family. We've had a life some would envy, but there is always that essential part missing for me. Maybe that's why I have such a huge list with you Sue.

I didn't realise you left these shores when you were a kid Phyllis, did your family take advantage of the £10 ticket?

We were en-route to Australia aboard a huge migrant ship, The Georgic, more like a cattle boat really:-( I remember Cairo, and the children diving for coins tossed into the water by the migrants and going through the Red Sea, where, because of no air-conditioning, young children died. We docked at Freemantle then went on to Melbourne where we stayed for two years before coming to New Zealand.

I bet they're having a great holiday on the narrow boat Beth.
What an experience going through the Suez Canal...where were you going? The Manchester Canal area would have made a great playground for you as a kid Phyllis.
Cheers...Sue

What a great way to travel. I think it must have been the Manchester Canal behind my grandparents house in Stalybridge. I was a big canal anyway. Looks like this boat had quite a 'drop' Sue. I remember as a child of 12, going through the Suez Canal and all the excitement, children all wanting a front row seat.

Thanks for the trip on the Trent and Mersey Canal!
