6 WILLIAM CAPE NEWS, SUMMER 2021

Meet

Patricia Aylmore

I was born on 30 October 1929 in Western
Australia. I was the daughter of Cyril and Doreen
Aylmore and was named Patricia Alymore or Pat
as I like to be called.

I lived on a 1000 acre farm in Western Australia
with my parents, uncle, auntie and brother
Graham. We raised sheep and there were other
animals such as horses, cows, chickens. Back
then we grew our own food.

I enjoyed attending the local school, but the
land was the life I really enjoyed, along with
spending time with my family. When I left
school I became a hairdresser. I met and fell in
love with my first husband John Shaw (Baritone)
who was a famous opera singer we married and
For The Diary had two children my daughter Sidonie, and son
Nicolas.

Date Event
I became the Mistress of wigs for the opera
company. Once we were travelling to England
