My parents had twelve siblings between them so I enjoyed a childhood amongst many aunts, uncles and cousins. The aunts and uncles have all died, and many of the cousins too. My DD now lives on the street where I was born, as was my mother and her siblings. I still visited an aunt and uncle there until 1970. The house is no longer standing, but I yearn for those close family ties every week when I walk along that street.
