Aunty Mary is 90

This has been a busy week and although I thoroughly intended to blog earlier many tasks prevented it.

The news of the week is that Aunty Mary is 90 years old. She is very fit both physically and mentally and has certainly kept her good looks.


The party was at cousin Andrea's house on a lovely summer day. I enjoyed the befores, but was called away to 'Tea and Talk' at Leicester House before I could tuck in to the very tempting looking goodies to follow.

Anne, Sid and George were able to be there, but I was particularly pleased to meet my cousin John and his wife Norma. John was almost a brother and a close cousin and it is sad to think of how long ago it was since I met them. They are retired and well. John looks very much like my last memory of Uncle Gilbert.

My thanks go to Rita and Andrea for making the day so special. I hope that we will have more opportunities to get together.
