Synopsis

Suddenly cut off from normal life by the outbreak of Covid-19, writer and grandmother, Carol Johnson, started to dream about fences. Visions of fences, one after another, in forensic detail, came into view in her mind's eye as she slept, bringing with them those events of her childhood with which they were associated. She decided to record her memories to share with her young grandchildren, to whom she had lost access due to restrictions on movement. It became a project that filled the endless hours, days, then weeks of forced confinement, and developed into a lively and informative account of childhood in a bygone era. 'Yards and Fences, Gates and Roads' looks back to a time when, although life was not easy, childhood pleasures could be found in the simplest things - the insignificant things - with which that life was shared. Delightfully illustrated by the author, this collection of stories recounts some of the characters who lived in and around her family home, and their ways, living so close to the city centre, and yet still teetering on the edge of the bush.
