McWalkies family
FATHER ANGUS McWALKIES has a smallholding in the foothills of Sylvania, where he lives with his family; growing barley, oats, fruit and vegetables. Every Saturday morning the whole family goes to market with the week's produce loaded on their cart. There is always a queue of eager customers waiting to buy his delicious wares.
MOTHER MURIEL McWALKIES (born BAIRD) is always busy; running the family home and helping Angus, her husband, in the fields, orchards and garden. She even finds time to make jams, preserves, chutney, pies and breakfast cereals from her husband's abundant harvest of home grown produce.
BROTHER HAMISH McWALKIES loves to take long walks in the hills around his home, finding new plants and shrubs he can list in his 'I-spy wild flowers' notebook. His favorite find was a very tiny wild purple orchid, which was one plant that his father had not found before him.
SISTER JANET McWALKIES wants to be a great poet and writer when she grows up. She spends hours scribbling notes and ideas in her ledger. No great works as yet as she is still very young, but a field of daffodils and a sky of drifting clouds are two thoughts she is working on at the moment.
BABY TWINS BEN AND BILLIE McWALKIES are always bickering and agruing, "It's my turn!" "We agreed" and "I'm not finished yet," is all you hear from the nursery. Angus, their father, thinks they should start their own nursery just so they can get their own way.
