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.

Coincidences.
Life is full of them. My nephew's wife was talking about my brother who sadly died in a nursing home in 2007. She said he once shared a room with the father-in-law of George Aligiah. I had just written about G.A. in my blog but she had not read it! Two of my guests from different sides of the family look after people's dogs while their owners are on holiday. Another is attending courses at the City Literary Institute where I went in the 1940s and three nephews from different branches of the family had a common interest in the West Hampshire Regiment. One gentleman was interested in a particular project that my daughter is working on. Also it turns out that my brother's grandson is working for the company that helped to provide the memorial to Ernie and his crew in Denmark. I could go on, but isn't life extraordinary?
