As children we were always playing around, on, under the jetties
at our holiday shack.
a special time was when Dad would start up his home-made motor-boat,
tie the dinghy to the back and tow it, with my brother and I bouncing inside,
to the 'big pier' at Point Henry. he had built a long 'scooping-basket'
...I thought he was a genius! ....
( little girls and their dads!!)
and he would slide it deep
down the pylon,below the tide line
then drag it up filled with
fat, fresh mussels.At age 7 or 8
we were roped into scrubbing
and debearding hundreds of mussels,
readying them for cooking, where they'd be thrown into a
big, metal laundry tub on a fire built on the sand in front of the shack.
no garlic, wine or parsley in those days! just a-la-natural with vinegar.
I still adore a feed of mussels.
and this little girl is sort of a Retro Self-Portrait.
she brings back such great memories.
Jo :)
