Fifi D  You see you're not agnostic afterall.....xx

Bentonbag  You take after your Great Aunt Elsie

FifiD  That's a good thing right?!!!! Xx

Bentonbag  Ask your Mother.

She told me last Saturday that I also walk like Auntie Larcombe; as well as looking like and having a similar personality!

FifiD  Oh dear sorry to hear that.  Well when I'm rich I'll give you some money for a face lift hairdo new walk and a complete change of genes!!!! Said with love before your mates come back at me!! Xxxxxxx

Came home from Ouseburn and discovered Fester has hoovered the stairs.

Just looking at old Facebook posts for tomorrow's blog and found

Miss Doozer  He's got an alarm set somewhere hasn't he.  Or maybe it's a biological calling, like eels returning to the Sargasso sea...?

Bentonbag  You'd be looking at him for a long time before thinking of an eel...

Mrs Burser  Is it an annual thing?? Assuming it's not a 15years thing?!xx

Bentonbag  If I'm lucky. Although he went most of the 20th century a stranger to the joys of hoovering.

Paganess  Glad you've recovered, have you found out what he's done?

StBernard  I think the question is: what did he spill?

Mrs Jeremy  'Stands back in amazement' comes to mind! 

Mrs Leftfoot  Yes!!! I could do with some help decluttering and tidying.

 

AuntieLarcombe was Cousin Daisy, my and the rest of the cousins’ Great Aunt.  Having not been blessed with children she was very involved in bringing up her nephews and nieces, and the cousins that grew up in Benton.  I was the youngest of all the cousins and brought up in Carmarthenshire (by FifiD’s Great Aunt Elsie) so have very few, and blurred, memories of her.

I have no idea why we referred to her as Auntie Larcombe, her surname, rather than using her Christian name.
