I heard from my niece that they were delighted with the painting of the bluebell wood - so it arrived safely, which is great. The sad thing is that her mother, my sister, is not at all well.
She is a lot older than me - I was the baby of the family - in fact, the cock-up - in more ways than one! So my parents had to start all over again with the small boy - and my sister was a kind of extra mother.
She never had the educational opportunities I had - and I know she was as very intelligent woman - but it was frustrating not to be able to exercise her talents. She devoted her life to her husband and children - and I went my own way - for a long time we did not see each other very often since I got married and lived some way away.
Her husband was not a great advocate of education - and their children had to wait until they left home before engaging in education to better themselves. Meanwhile, my sister looked after my mother after my father’s death, although my mother constantly disparaged her to me - an exercise in power. Luckily we were communicating and did not fall out.
Her husband died after a long illness, and she live alone - but since we got back from the cruise her health has deteriorated - she is very forgetfull and has had heart failure. I guess in the reasonable near future we will get a message that she has died - but she will not give up without a struggle.
Meanwhile, the full English breakfast is under threat. If you have never had a full English you have not lived. Fried eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, fried bread, black pudding , baked beans, fried potatoes - a heart attack on a plate - a full Irish would include soda bread too.
Apart from the effect of cholestorol etc - it appears now that too many sausages and too much bacon could be carcogenic - as well as other forms of processed meat. Actually just one full English in a week would be OK I guess - but not every day. The good geople of Parma in Italy are up in arms at the suggestion that Parma Ham is anything but healthy - as for those big German Bratwuersten - say no more!!!!
