A Woman in Red
Published by Kandos History
Four things about me. I like reading, writing, researching and living in the country. In particular I like living at Kandos, where we have been for more than a decade. I have deep roots in this part of the country. My mother spent her early life in Kandos. My father was born at Rylstone. My grandparents were pioneers of Kandos and Rylstone. And I was born at Lue - and went to school in Mudgee. The history of this area excites me and I would like to share it with you. My monthly blogs are posted on the 1st of each month. However I intend taking a six-month furlough from blogging to continue a project that has been sitting on the shelves for too long. Also, after 71 posts and 59 articles I feel a bit stale. I posted my first blog in May 2017. There is plenty to read on this site. If you are looking for a particular person or subject use the Search function. My last post is scheduled for 1/3/2022. If you pressed "Follow" and gave your email address, the blogs will be sent to you when I return. Thank you readers for your interest, comments and support. Colleen View all posts by Kandos History

Miss Soloman was engaged to my great uncle Patrick Phelan.My mother and father moved to Wollongong in 1952 and we holidayed in Kandos Christmas and Easter and when we went into Miss Solomons shop she told me she should have been my aunty. My mother told me she also said it to her.

Thanks for that information Mary. It seems Miss Solomon didn’t get over that broken engagement.
