An afterthought to my last post: I would enjoy reading some short anecdotes an the featured relative. Maybe your blog followers could contribute? I'd like to comment on Nana.
She wss an awesome sight when performing the Knees up (Mother Brown). I'll never forget Nana, drawing up her skirt and 'pinny', to expose her ancient skinny legs, stockings sagging into well worn bedroom slippers; then she would dance with vigour and such a saucy twinkle in her eye any onlooker would see, not an old woman, but a cheeky young wench. Love her!
What a great idea, Sue! You'll see I've tranferred your lovely comments to the sidebar. Nan was, as you say, a real character and I remember her with great affection. How I'd like to talk to her about her early life now, but when we were kids we thought she'd be with us for ever. I'll, obviously be writing more about her in the future.
I really enjoy your relative of the week spot!
