Odd Ball
Week 27, 2016
~~~~~
Recently I paid a visit to my home town and
stopped of to have a chat with my parents
and some of the other locals of
similar vintage.
Shortly after commencing the WoollyMuses blog someone asked me why I referred to my gentler half as MGW, My Good Wife.
I explained that there had been a local identity who had referred to his wife, in a weekly agricultural newspaper column, as MGW and that is where it came from.
This is the headstone of the couple to whom I refer.
I attended school with their children and classed
their wool clip a few times prior to leaving the area.
From memory Thomas was a Japanese POW and
worked on the Burma Railway line during his internment.
