DOWN MEMORY LANE

I have so many happy memories, we lived in Malindela (one of the first houses built there) and we had endless hours of fun playing in the river that ran alongside the Bulawayo Golf Club, we built dams and forts (there was a lot of tree cover), fished, gardened and collected golf balls which landed in the river with regular monotony. We rode to school and in those days you could weave all over the road because there were very few cars making their appearance at the hour we went to school. Life was certainly much less stressful then - all you had to worry about was stepping out of line at school or home and the consequences on the rear end.

My Mom worked at the Dairy Marketing Board, first in the Grey Street dairy and then at head office in the industrial sites. I can remember walking from our home in Malindela on a Saturday when my Dad was on shift - to meet my Mom as it was a half day, going into the back of the factory where the farmers brought their cans of cream, scooping a cup of cream (those paper waxed ones) and drinking it. To this day I can drink cream without batting an eyelid (don't think the veins like it but I sure do).

Such happy memories, but my kids aren't in the least bit interested in hearing about those times - how sad. If I try to explain to the grand children, they look at me as if the marbles have left and all they have is a vacant head in the granny. I can remember sitting with my grandmother when she talked about the times she went in an ox wagon up to Bechuanaland with her step father who was a trader, the wild animals they encountered and the fireside stories - sadly I was not clever enough to think to write them down as we loved hearing them and maybe could write a book for the kids of today to try and paint a picture of past times.

Enough nostalgia, hope all is well in your neck of the woods and grandson is growing like a weed.
A recent series of pictures on the Rhodesian Facebook page started me reminiscing about my childhood in Bulawayo. Jacaranda time was the most fun, riding bicycles down 14th Avenue, which was deserted in the early morning but covered in beautiful lilac blossoms which popped and moved as we made a wobbly path through them, circled and rode back just to make sure we had covered all the territory.

The famous crossroad ditches in the city, when it rained they became little rivers, absolutely essential to ride through and maybe accidentally fall off - then a rush home to Malindela for a lovely hot bath and warm mug of tea. Di Bella Bakery in Fife Street brought out their piping hot milk bread at 3 - just in time for the ride home, it was the most delicious feast, hot, soft and spongy. Their ' Cake of a Thousand Leaves' was a special treat for Birthdays, high days and holidays, have never found another bakery that made it the way they did, not even in Italy.. Downing's Bakery made the best pies and rolls, but my favourite was a square sponge cake covered in fondant icing and marked off into squares with walnuts in each square - it was my Aunt Emmies favourite too, so we always knew when we visited her house we were allowed a piece.

Bunking afternoon school to play in the river behind the convent that bordered on the Police Camp, then disguising ourselves by swopping hats etc (what that achieved I will never know but we thought it was a good idea at the time) as we walked back to school past the power station where my father worked. Bunking to go and see Elvis at the Palace in Fife Street in his first movie 'Jailhouse Rock', imagine our surprise when we came out and found the Mother Superior waiting for us and we knew the punishment was not far behind. Dancing on the wall at Treger House on the top floor to see who could do it fastest - never a thought to what would happen if we should fall. The beautiful red brick Drill Hall which was next to the Convent and where we trooped for the weekly swimming lessons in summer and if we were lucky an afternoon dip when it was very hot.

Cecil John Rhodes statue in Main Street looking north reminding us of his vision for a great road from Cape to Cairo. The perfect peace at the top of World's view in the Matopos where he was laid to rest in company with other pioneers and of course the amazingly beautiful Shangani Memorial on the side of the hill. Just to sit up there and ponder was so special, and of course to climb up there to watch the sun come up on New Year's day was to have lived!!! Borrow Street Baths, which opened for the season on the 1st September, best part was being allowed a new bathing costume every year which came from Morrison's on Fife Street.

Every Easter Morrison's would have a display of live chickens in their window (the animal rights people of today would have had a fit) and one year my brother and I received a chick each, his was Donald who turned out to be a Black Australop and he had a vicious temper, he was allowed into the yard on Sundays, and we kept clear as he was a monster. Mine was Daisy a Rhode island Red and a very passive girl she was too, probably cowed by the cockerel she lived with, needless to say they both died of old age as we could not bring ourselves to kill them. Another lasting memory is the Hillside Dams, endless places to play and hide, climb and explore.

My first ever Girl Guide camp was there on the border of Sander's home - have a lasting horror of long drops from that time on. Centenary Park with its little train, the Museum, band stand, can even remember the Sunday concerts on the lawn under the beautiful trees and Phoenix palms, the wonderful flower beds and walks. When Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret visited in 1953 my Mom took us to stand near the Clinic so we would get a view without the crowds and the Queen graciously let me take a picture with my box brownie camera. Was a dedicated royalist from that day on.

Who can forget the Dairy Den near the Trade Fair Grounds, maybe memory dulls ones taste but somehow ice cream does not taste as good as it did from there. More and more memories are tumbling into my head but for now these will do. Maybe you can recall some of the special times you had during your childhood in Bulawayo. A part of my heart will always remain there.

THE ACADEMY AND PERFORMING ARTS BULAWAYO
THURSDAY 11 MAY THE MADNESS OF KING GEORGE
Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
'The Madness of King George' begins in 1788, as the unstable king (Nigel Hawthorne) begins to show signs of increasing dementia, from violent fits of foul language to bouts of forgetfulness. This weakness seems like the perfect chance to replace the unpopular George, whom many blamed for the loss of the American colonies, with the Prince of Wales, but the king's Prime Minister William Pitt and his wife Queen Charlotte (Helen Mirren) are determined to protect George's position on the throne.
'A most touching, clever, delightful film.' [Daily Telegraph]
'A deft, mischievous, beautifully acted historical drama with exceptionally broad appeal.' [New York Times]
'The thrill of Hawthorne's astounding performance is not something you want to miss.' [Rolling Stone]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m.

FRIDAY 12 MAY NOTRE DAME DE PARIS (BALLET)
Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
'Notre Dame de Paris' is a ballet by French choreographer Roland Petit based on Victor Hugo's novel The Hunch-back of Notre Dame. With costumes by Yves Saint Laurent and music by Maurice Jarre, best known for his film scores including Lawrence of Arabia and Dr.Zhivago, it has been a modern ballet hit ever since its 1965 premiere.
'This is an exquisite work relying heavily on classical ballet but shading it with so much in the way of contemporary moves that it sparkles and shines and finally moves the viewer to tears.' [IMDb]
'Fifty years after it was made, "Notre-Dame" still comes as a breath of fresh air. The ballet has been accused of being light and more like cabaret than "high art". Not so - and what's wrong with being accessible anyway I loved it! [CriticalDance.org]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available from 6.00 p.m. ($10.00)
PLEASE NOTE THAT DINNER WILL BE SERVED BEFOREHAND AND NOT DURING THE INTERVAL

THURSDAY 18 MAY NOTTING HILL
Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
The life of a simple bookshop owner changes for ever when he meets the most famous film star in the world!
'"Notting Hill" is about as enchanting as movies get these days!' [New York Post]
'A winning delight... Funny, sweet, charming and entertaining.' [Film 99]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Film members] Supper available from 6.15 p.m.

FRIDAY 19 MAY BIZET: LES PECHEURS DE PERLES
Robert Sibson Hall at 7.00 p.m.
Bizet's 'Les Pecheurs de perles' is known largely for its unforgettable duet for tenor and baritone but when staged at the Metropolitan Opera in early 2016, it proved a major success, both for the performance and the production which updates the setting to a shanty-town in contemporary South-East Asia. The opera opens with a magical oceanic ballet as the stage transforms into a seascape in which three dancers fish for pearls, and the threatening presence of the sea asserts itself throughout, with tidal waves overwhelming the set at the climactic moments.
'Terrific. Spectacular production with superlative soloists and chorus.' [Amazon]
'If only Bizet could have seen this production.' [New York Times]
'The music, cast, and production are too good to pass up.' [OperaWire]
Admission: $3.00 [free to Red Carpet members] Dinner available from 6.00 p.m. ($10.00)
PLEASE NOTE THAT DINNER WILL BE SERVED BEFOREHAND AND NOT DURING THE INTERVAL

4) Condolences/In Memoriam/Wreath Funds

Patricia Heine (nee Davies) died 8th of May 2017 at 83 years.
Dearest wife to Sandy for 55 years, mother to Debbie and Hilton, passed away in the early hours of May 8th, 2017 in Cape Town. A brave & uncomplaining lady who was gracious & beautiful to the end. Our hearts are broken but her soul now rests in eternal peace. Thank you for being in my life. Your God-daughter, Caroline (Wells) Goodenough and family.


I'm having a 'toot' and remembering my dear, dear friend, Beryl Laing. Beryl died on 9 th May 2011, her birthday. She befriended me when I first arrived in Bulawayo and without her I couldn't have managed life in a strange country where no one knew me. She was as mad as a box of spiders, drove her yellow V Dub barefoot and would sing The Click Song after a few brandies. I will never find another friend like her. So I shall play The Click Song, by Miriam Makeba, 'Mama Africa' and had a little tear.
Cheers, old pal.

Kind regards,
Jane Abbott

Kenya Airways has recently started flying into Victoria Falls from Nairobi 3 times a week. It already flies into Harare. Ethiopia Airlines is also planning to fly into the Falls sometime in the near future. South African Airways has been flying to the Falls for years and has recently launched a 200 seater Airbus for its Falls route.
