Ten pound Pom was quite good, still trying to work out if that boy shown leaving on a train is that woman's son but no doubt all will be revealed eventually. There were quite a few people sent out to various countries because their behaviour wasn't up to the standard of their usually posh families. They were known as Remittance men.

Haven't met the new baby as yet; yesterday her Mum hadn't had much sleep & today is far too cold so told them we can catch up once its warmer - snow is expected in the high country & its freezing already so wouldn't expect them to venture out in this.
I've seen photos, & she has a name now, Violet. Her big sister is Scarlett so sounds right somehow.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
