This week,my cousins,three women all about my age,will be coming to see me. When they come, they all take cuttings from my garden. The first time two of my cousins came to visit me,they sat on the sofa,while I was in the kitchen getting the tea and cakes. My OH sidled up to me and whispered,"Where's Cinderella?" I didn't catch on,so he said,"Well,the ugly sisters are here." He is awful. They are not pretty,but they're not really ugly. They spend too much time in the sun,so they have lots of wrinkles. My grandson was here one time they came,and I told him to give them a kiss. He fled outside and when I caught him,I asked him what was wrong. He said he didn't want to catch wrinkles,bless him. He thought they were catching.  |

He thought they were catching. Are they staying or just popping in for a visit? These days families are so split apart as we all lead such busy lives there is no time for social niceties I remember the times when everybody would gather for a wedding or a funeral, and it was nice to catch up with everybody face to face. Then there would be visits to relatives, usually on the train as few had cars, and it was a sort of adventure. Such visits would be reciprocated, I wonder if it was some way of food sharing when food was scarce These days it's all social media and very impersonal so I suppose what I am saying is enjoy your visitors whilst you can

Thanks Jimmy. They are just coming for the day. Our family used to get together regularly when we were younger.
We often holidayed together. Now we are all old ladies with families of our own .
We usually talk about the old days when we were girls and laugh a lot.

I love to see my lot visit. Only trouble is they don't know when to go.
