Died within a week of sister Isobel after paying too much attention to their Pekinese Ching and falling down stairs. Would poke her nose ( which was prominent) into public matters in Gloucester. " Who is this woman" was the question posed by angry councillors. However she often did good by her enquiries.

Someone once referred to the old Aunts as snakes in the grass when talking to Paul Dack Rector of Quedgaley. He could not quite see this in two mild old ladies passing by.
Could not work the peepshow. We would watch this a box with scenes that would change from day to night by opening a flap at the top of the box. I remember a huge lion's head above an arch.
