Cousins

@ Dom and "Loz" - HEY, hi there! it is really great that you have been in to read this stuff .. thanks to both of you for your kind thoughts, and you really made me laugh, Lawrence. I will never forget what you quoted from Grandad (did he REALLY say that? I can't believe he said it, cos there is no swearing in it!) Please feel free to post any more random thoughts from him - I would like it very much, as I also take him as a good role model.

I think you and I are in a minority in the broader family for being big fans of Owd Fayther Toft .. ( one of them distant cousins told me as much after my speech at his funeral *gasp*) -- but I always had a massive respect for him and would be happy to be as strong as he was in his own battle with bowel cancer (and the rest).

I agree that J, M and I are getting spookily alike, and, I have to say, I think I look more and more like Nana Toft as each year passes -- watch out, it could happen to you!
