Peach, ginger and mint punch after a fascinating tour of Calthorpe's House, where we heard all about Dell and Dawn Calthorpe and their family, the gardener and the maid, Mary, who lived with them until they had to let her go, during the depression. Maids were eventually replaced by "electric servants" like kitchen mixers, washing machines, electric stoves and irons, which made it possible for Mrs Calthorpe to look after the household herself. #CalthorpesHouse #calthorpesinstameet #igerscanberra #acthistoricplaces #electricservants #punch #peachpunch (at Calthorpe House)
