My Grandmother has lived in New Zealand for all of her life, My Grandmother grew up in Greeson Tauranga.
Her house was a happy place but incredibly crowded because of there being 7 children and only 3 bedrooms, they did however have a big backyard. She grew up Catholic and still practices.
The first time she heard about world news was when she bought a TV for her family. It cost 169 pounds, the TV started at 6'0 clock pm for 2hrs, its audio was scratchy, the screen was black and white and sometimes it didn't work.
Her earliest memory was when her aunts took her to Auckland at 4yrs old. They went to the St James theater and watched the ice skullies, they stayed at a hotel that night wand went home in the morning. Her memorial of that time was a polar bear pin her aunts bought for her.
Here is some information about her family, the Ormsbys'
Her hobbies were every single sport she could play,

My Grandfather grew up in Palmerston North, and lived here for all of his life. He lived in a 3 bedroom house like my Grandmother, his family was financially stable. But he left them at 19 after being in boarding school since 13 so they didn't have the closest relationship. He grew up Catholic and continues to practice as well.His main hobby is golf.
The places he heard about world news from were from the radio, the newspaer and when he went to the movies and a newsplash would appear, however the newspaper and newsplash were usually 3 weeks late at the earliest.
He started teaching at 19 immediately after he left college and home but left due to the lousy pay and the spent 32 yeares in the TAB business.
