The Tricycle underneath the House (2)

The tricycle belonged to one of the three sons of the previous owner of the house. Mrs. Gardiner passed away a few months before the house was sold, she was in her eighties.

In 2004 we bought another house, 20 houses away from the previous one. The van Waards, a Dutch couple in their eighties are our nextdoor neighbours. They migrated to Australia in 1958. They have a son and a daughter. In this photograph, the son was standing in front of his sister while holding a Cyclop tricycle just like the one found underneath the other house. So many things are connected to the toys in a strange kind of way. Throuh the tricycle we learn a bit of the history of the suburb we live in.
