Salisbury.

7.)We then moved to a house on Inverleith Drive,our neighbours were a family called Nisbett who became very close friends of my parents.After the caravan holiday to Durban in the hired caravan the folks decided to purchase their own van.They went to the Sprite factory in Gwelo to collect the caravan and almost died of the cold that night,sleeping in the caravan.

My Dad and I built a treehouse in a large tree in the back yard,Deirdre very small still climbed up there one day on her own and got stuck,my Dad had to fetch her down.A pupil at Roosevelt High school where Mom had been teaching since January 1964,gave her a puppy which we named Mickey,she was a Maltese poodle.We had this dear little dog for many many years.This was also when I got my first bicycle and learnt how to ride.

We only stayed there for a year because the tenant living in a back room became a problem,we were not aware of him at the time we moved in.

We did a lot of caravanning with our neighbours the Nisbett,s.We would usually go to Lake Mc Illwaine where the Rhodesian Caravan Club had it,s own caravan park ;Rhocara Park.My Dad and Derrick Nesbitt used to get up to all kinds of antics,there were many fun events organised so everyone had a whale of a time.It was quite a co incidence concerning our car,s and caravan,s.Derrick Nisbett,s car was a green Plymouth De Soto and their van,a green Sprite Musketeer.Our car was a blue Plymouth De Soto and our caravan a blue Sprite Musketeer.

Jenny decided one day to go next door and visit the Nisbett,s,no one knew where she was! Turned out she and the youngest Nisbett,Darren made friends under the watchful eye of Granny Nisbett! 

This reminds me of another incident involving Jenny;the one day whilst we were still living at Jamelin Court madam went missing!Our house boy James was sent of on his bicycle to find her,as it turns out he did find her at the local cafe where she was quite happily being fed sweets by the woman that owned the cafe.She really enjoyed herself!Needless to say Mother was sick with worry!
