A day out with family

Tweet

We and Vince’s brother went to visit the remaining brother and his wife. The older brother turned 81 a day or two ago and in the last year or so, has suddenly become very old and frail. He was always the ‘project manager’ for our various family working bees and it’s sad to see him ageing so quickly. However, we shared some great memories, including one that was very funny. His wife used to board with the family when she first started working and the pair were attracted to each other and started going out. One night, at the dinner table, BIL’s mother said, ‘M, that’s my leg you’re rubbing.’ We’d heard the story before but it’s always good for retelling. This time it was made funnier by younger BIL saying ‘I hope it was below the knee’. The photo shows the ‘birthday boy’ and his wife. It was taken quite a few years ago.
