History Under the Floor

When Ben pulled up the old lino, under the carpet in our lounge room, he found a bit of history.

Old newspapers from 1964 - The Age, The Australian, This Sporting Life, The Herald and an Italian paper - already being read by Pino and Alfredo. The newspapers are in pretty good nick ... yellow with age and a bit dirty - but very readable and very interesting to see what was making news.

James loves the sporting pages. I''m fascinated by the Ladies pages - filled with a combination of tips on beauty, how to be a good hostess, social gatherings, society weddings and recipes. The ads are fabulous too.
