China - Day 248 - Swanage

I rang Mike Parsons yesterday and he explained the relationships to me. So dad's uncle, Harold Parsons, had some children, including two sons, John and Harry (dad's cousins). Cousin John's widow ("Auntie Mollie") lives in a flat overlooking the beach, and Cousin Harry's widow ("Auntie Doreen") lives in a house that is so close to the beach that if you are sitting in the wrong chair in the lounge you can't hear what is being said because of the waves breaking on the shore. We had tea and cake with Auntie Mollie and her daughter Caroline.

Then we went across the lawn to see Auntie Doreen and spent a few minutes chatting with her
