The Unforgettable Adventures of My Backyard Oasis: Rattan Chairs, Iced Tea, and a Whole Lot of Relaxation. AI-Generated.
The Arrival of the Rattan Revolution When the boxes arrived, I felt a mix of excitement and dread. Was I about to spend hours deciphering assembly instructions written in what I can only assume was a secret code? But to my surprise, putting together the chairs and coffee table was easier than assembling a sandwich. Within an hour, my patio was transformed. The rich brown and beige tones of the rattan wicker blended perfectly with the greenery of my garden, and the soft cushions looked so inviting I almost took a nap right then and there.

From Rubbing Boards to Modern Luxuries The 70’s changed life for women. Modern time saving chores
I remember some of what I am about to write, but I am too young to have seen it all. My mam told me a true story about how she cut her hand and wrist while using the old-fashioned rubbing board to wash the family’s clothes. Her mum, my grandmother, died when Mam was just 8 years old, leaving my grandfather Joseph to bring up his 13 young children himself. So the girls looked after their siblings as they got older, as did my Mam. One day, she was using the glass—yes, glass—rubbing board in a metal deep tub when she pressed too hard, and her hand went through it. She was lucky; granddad was home from the coal mine and whisked her up in his arms and took her to the doctors; it was very near. There were no health and safety rules on washing boards. I wonder how many other women did this and got hurt. There were no electric washing machines then. It was a rubbing board or two fists battering the dirty washing clean.
