Aunty Meg was living in England back then and she used to send me Ian's (Nathan) cast off clothing which was great because they were warm corduroy type clothes, etc. She sent me this beautiful gabardine overcoat. On e day I was running flat-out down the Katoomba Street Hill with my coat open and flying in the breeze when one of the buttons caught between the brick wall and a tin fence in a lane and ripped a piece of gabardine 1" wide from one side of the coat where the button was, right round to the button hole - big trouble!!
