Caught without an umbrella

I went to visit the folks for the first time in a long time, and was struck by these pictures. Some people are close to their families. I guess we are close, in a distant kind of way. No one else knows you in the same way, or shares the same pool of memories.

This picture is of our dogs, gone to the great dog-house in the sky sometime since. Penny (the white one) was the mum, very clever and immensely sly. Behold her sly expression. Bruno was one of her puppies which we kept, as you can see he tormented the life out of her, following her about and leaning on her. He was not the brightest of animals, but very good-natured.


If you saw the original post, you are one of the lucky ones - had to edit out other photos after protest from sister - soz!

One of the most common phrases in our household was "Mummy, A's spoiling our game".

A was the brother to us three sisters. His raison d'ĂȘtre was to sabotage our girls' games - making dolls fight, cutting their hair off, sticking pins in their ears, etc.

Ahh, memories
