Memmys

 

I have a vivid memory of Memmie in her shop on the corner of North William Street. She was an amazing lady and one of Newtown's 'Great Characters'. She was always ready for a chat but forever chewing gum and humming hymns(one of her favourites was 'Sweet Heart of Jesus') Although tiny in stature she was able to lift large sacks of potatoes and drag them across the shop to the large Avery Scales in the corner (why the potatoes weren't stacked near the scales was always a mystery to me .
