“Hello, my name is Gail and I have the pleasure of volunteering at Chamberlain Gardens.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

I was born in the Hunter Valley, but my parents moved to the Central Coast when I was quite young. \u00a0At that time there were very few houses and it was a great place to grow up. The lake was quite close by and we were able to spend our relaxation time fishing which we all enjoyed.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

Both of my parents passed away at relatively young age, I was only 26 at the time.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

I married and have two children, a son and a daughter. They both live near where I grew up.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

We had a shop called \u201cMunchies\u201d at Budgewoi, where we sold fresh seafood and take away food. We sold the shop three years later so that the children could have a more stable lifestyle.<\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

My husband was an electrician and I often helped him with his work. Unfortunately, he passed away and I went on to raise my children.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

When the children got older, I got a job at a lighting store where street and home lighting was made. I enjoyed my work and stayed there for twenty-five years until the company completely closed down.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

My partner of twenty years and I now enjoy our three grandsons and we also have a little dog called Millie who has to always be the centre of attention.<\/h4>\n

<\/h4>\n

I have been a volunteer at Chamberlain Gardens for nearly two years now and I really enjoy it. The residents simply enrich my life and I hope to be able to continue for a long time to come.”<\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
