Ramblings of a nonagenerian (vintage 1923). Grew up in Lambeth in the 20s and 30s. Lived and worked in London during World War II. I have been attempting to do the Telegraph Cryptic Crossword since 1939! (My daughter says I *have* to write this, but I am troubled as it sounds so conceited.) I bought my first computer aged 85 and am continually frustrated by the vagaries of the technological age.

Madeline
It is Sunday and I am feeling sad. It is just a year ago that I started my blog with the story of cousin Madeline and the bee. Now I am sorry to say she has died. Since we both were widowed she had often phoned me on a Sunday afternoon to laugh about the silly things one does in old age, to deplore the way things have changed since we were young and generally put the world to rights. I shall miss her.
