AstridvdAL

I came to Australia from the Netherlands in 1980, with husband and 2 sons. My eldest son, is in the Australian Air Force Band and my 2nd son works in London as a Professor of Voice. Myself love music too and played violin as a hobby in Community Orchestras and Bands. Besides this, I am a technical-minded and multiskilled person and worked until I was 64, Nov. 2004. I am strongly community-minded, and seek to improve people's living conditions. I love animals, birds, dogs and horses specifically. I want TO STOP people gambling on animals, such as Greyhound and horse races. I need nature around me. My husband left the family in 1990 and said: Good luck to you! I had 2x a housefire in Warracknabeal, after which I could have chosen to live closer to my son, but I preferred to buy again in Warracknabeal due to the type of caring people living there. I wrote "My Childhood Story" about WWII, living in Rotterdam (and shortly after that). My personal experiences for the purpose of historical reasons and information specific for family and the current generation. It is still in manuscript form due to the fact that I need more photographs to collect from family and the like, since I lost all mine in the housefires. My faith is in God Almighty, and I am a Catholic.
