Athens, our second day
Holiday Video. We rode on the Hop on Hop off bus, we viewed the stadium where the first Modern Olympic games were held, we admired impressive buildings and statues and we walked in the park. The city seemed busy but relaxed.

    Thank You for your Video. The Anchor is on the foreshore Nelson Place Williamstown. My Great Grandfather Thom Elliot Mooney (Rating Number 87972) came to Melbourne as Bosnian’s Mate on the on HMS Nelson. In 1920 He claimed he was the Caption for the foretop. So on Boson’s Mates wages when setting the sails. His British Navy records say he was 15 Years old at enlistment but he was 13 years old. His birthdate on his papers says 30-Oct-1857 (1959 in reality). I have his Victorian and Australian Papers, However we lent his Papers to The Historical Security, and when we got them back the English Records were missing. As luck would have it I found the internet in English Navy Records.

    If I remember correctly Smith is a Roma surname? Possibly have your dna checked and if it shows indian heritage then its probable? Apparently, the Roma language is very close to an indian dialect though name of dialect eludes me at present. The Roma are believed to be derived from a blue eyed, brown skinned travelling, musical and entertaining caste who travelled north for some reason hundreds of years ago and spread up through europe and around the globe for safety and freedom. They were in the uk by at least the 1600’s. And many have ‘settled’ over the centuries and some/many have with time forgotten their heritage. Though their interests, land, horses, looks and bling maybe even Vardas are a ‘give away’…….! Whatever, thank you for sharing your inspiring work. Enjoy PS you may wish to check out the english cockney folk musicians ‘Chas and Dave’ one of them Dave if I remember correctly, was settled Roma (lot of us round London) and his hobby was building and decorating Varda’s/wagons. There is a lot of their music from the eighties and nineties here on yt and a vid about his passion for Varda’s which you might enjoy?

Fell in love with these vans... I do pin stripping, gold leaf (Since the 60's) and Lead light as a hobby (took a night course at TAFE in the 80's.....your work has made me change our direction and go build a Gypsy Caravan on my frame ...great seeing both their works...

    Sad story...reminds me of the Silver Bridge collapse in Point Pleasant WV back in the 60's. It happened about fifty miles from where I live. I was very small, but can remember seeing it reported on our old black and white TV. It's one of my earliest memories...along with Bobby Kennedy's assassination, the Moon Landings, the Marshall University football team's plane crash, and the daily scrolls of the names of those killed, captured, or missing in action during the Vietnam War. Kinda strange that we can recall the bad things that happen much easier than we do the good things.
