strange experience reacquainling yourself with a relative after a year absence with a lady whom you once knew as intimately as your own parents My mothers sister Auntie as she is affectionate ly known amongst the family Is here for a threeweek visit with my parents As both my brothers and parents have taken Intermittent return visits to the homeland only yours was the unknown quantity for her to rediscover along with my husband and children My initial reaction upon meeting her was one of shock II was as though time had rolled back years and It was my grandmother once again standing before me so closely doesAuntieDnowresemblcher mother Here was a lady I had looked up to and suddenly I was confronted with a lady who barely reaches to my shoulder in height While I will not tell you her age suffice it to say she is into her seventh decade forgive me Auntie if I am giving away any well kept secrets and she has lost none of her sparkle and lest for life Always having lived in a country setting In what is probably one of the most scenic areas of England she is an active leader In her community She runs the weekly whist drives the bridge nights is caller for the regular bingo addicts and is never too busy to sit down with her grandchildren and listen to the newest rock albums TOWN GIRL Visiting Auntie D and my cousins during Ihe summer school holidays was always a highlight of my childhood As a town girl a passion for animals the country setting suited me to perfection Saturday was market day and my cousin Janet and I would head off to absorb the sights sounds and smells of the open arena where cows and horses were auctioned We would gaxe at the pigs and chickens for sale and long to purchase caged rabbit whose unhappy future was undoubtedly the local butcher shop Puppies and kittens were plentifully available while flowers and a profusion of vegetables were attractively displayed to tempt purchasers equipped with string shopping bags For the rest of he week there was the open countryside to explore by bicycle and a nearby field of tethered goats lobe petted We pulled of lush grass that lay beyond their reach and placed It before their steadily chewing jaws and if we stayed late enough for milking time a Jug of rich warm milk was the reward for our Oh the beautiful golden days of summer childhood with secrets snared and explored between cousins over a mutually purchased can or sticky sweet condensed milk delcctably spooned out beside a gently running stream Meanwhile Auntie D has taken to Canada a vengeance She counts the number of llghtbulbs In each dining room light fixture turns off light switches jealously exclaiming over how much the electricity would cost her at home leaving my parents to fumble around in a suddenly darkened apartment She revels In the unlimited amount of hot water for baths reluctantly ascended to the top of the C N Tower hen refused to come down because she enjoyed it so much She has seen Stratford Niagara Falls had lunch at the magnificent golden Royal Bank building in Toronto with my sister in law and has partaken of her first barbeque at our house She has met kind strangers who have welcomed her Into their homes and has left them In turn with a refreshing viewpoint on the comfortable way of life we take for granted Just as memories of Auntie D have supplied me happy memories I hope her far loo short visit here will supply her with enough events and lories to keep the village of Dursley Gloucestershire agog for weeks Refugees are guests atCWL meeting Two former Southeast Asian families now living
