Hi - I'm new to the list and this is my first email. I will send my research interests in the New Year, however I have enjoyed the emails about the 'Pool. I was 13 when we emigrated to South Australia (I now live in Queensland) We lived in Liverpool 6. My mum used to make bun loaf - I think I might have the recipe somewhere and I also remember the ginger wine. I was in St Phillips Brownies and Guides and used to enjoy carol singing at the local hospital (not sure which one) especially when we had finished and we were given mince pies and orange juice! By the way my Mum was JOAN HUNTINGTON. Her family had a bakery at Edge Lane. Some of the folk on the list may remember Hunty's Bread? I went to Childwall Valley High and I was delighted to finally meet Maureen (a member of this list) who also went to CVHS as we live near each other now. We had been trying to get together for several years. We have so many things in common not the least of which is family history. I wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2007.
