A tribute to my Mother Irene Hilda Hart
My mother was very special to me sister and me. For me she was my lifetime friend and companion.
She talked a lot about her childhood with her grandparents in Sutton Coldfield. They lived in a Victorian cottage at 2 Firtree Grove, Boldmere Road, Wylde Green.
My mother's grandfather was a Master Baker and he prepared all the cakes for my mother's birthday. So at the Royal Sutton Coldfield Girls School where she was a pupil her parties were always well attended by many of her friends.
As a child she enjoyed her ballet lessons and riding in her grandfather's pony and trap dressed in smart Victorian regalia.
My mother's lifestyle was truly Victorian in nearly every way. They enjoyed gas lighting, oil lamps and a battery powered radio which they had recharged at regular intervals. My mother remembered the day they had electricity installed.
They had a pigsty at the bottom of the garden where they kept two pigs. My mother cleaned the pigsty out for pocket money. She did tell me that she was frightened of the geese who were always biting her at the rear.
As a life member of the National Trust we travelled to many properties to visit the house and have lunch or afternoon tea together.
Mom's favourite property was Powis Castle in Welshpool where she enjoyed the magnificent gardens and fountain also the cat of 28 years of age.
So I wish you well on your journey after a long and fruitful life. I only have happy thoughts as we never quarrelled in our long time together.
I dedicate my words to my dear mother who will remain with me forever.
