Half A Lifetime and Apple Leaf Cloth
At the moment I am enjoying knitting up little pink items for a little girl whilst reading Judith Wright’s Half a Lifetime, an autobiography covering her childhood and her adult life until the sad death of her partner. I actually went and borrowed this book from my local library as I haven’t been able to track down a copy to buy, the most embarrassing part of it, however, was finding that I no longer had a viable library card but that was quickly fixed up.
Judith Wright was born and raised east of my hometown, Guyra, and I have to say it has been a very interesting read. I have a lot of admiration for Judith Wright and the choices she made, especially given her position in society and what was expected of her.
