Episode Summary


Jo Clark joins Linda today to talk about her memories of teaching, volunteering, and growing up. Jo shares detailed experiences that really capture the listener through all their senses. Listen as Jo and Linda discuss:

  • Experiencing different areas of Australia volunteering for an organisation called Yalari that helps indigneous children have access to education
  • Being a principal at a school and adjoining boarding hostel and providing the children with educational, family and community experiences
  • Witnessing the decline in her mother’s health and choosing to adjust her life accordingly
  • The tradition of Sunday roasts as a child and now as a parent

Linda and Jo walk down many memory lanes in their conversation today. Taking the time to talk about our memories and experiences is a great way to pass down wonderful stories and legacies to our children.

This episode has now been transformed into a chapter of its very own inside the book series Stories with a Sunday Roast. It weaves together the memories that were shared during the podcast conversations with my personal experiences.

Unlike the podcast, the carefully crafted stories and mouth-watering descriptions of roasty meals will transport you to another level as you turn the pages. To continue with more stories in book format, visit www.lindabonney.com/books for all the details about the Stories with a Sunday Roast series today.
