This one's been going since the late 1800's was my late great aunt's from down in Warrnambool.
When she passed she left a fair few plants to the p's and also her beach combing spoils to meeee (which I really need to display). i only met her when I was a young kid in the late 80's but she hoarded everything. The sad thing was that there was a falling out between the siblings (2 sisters and a brother or my grandfather) and the sisters never spoke to each other after their parents' estate was broken up. She was a lovely lady apparently and had a huge green thumb.
My nan has a similar story. doesn't speak to her sister at all. She dosent/didnt like to talk about. Ironic. cause now I dont talk to my mum or her. Guess it runs in the family.
