family days



the beach on xmas day.
I did rough family trees of the Elek and Lyttle families, sitting on the porch. Trying to keep track of which of my mum’s cousins had stopped in for tea. A question could be thrown at uncle tom or aunt jenny as they wandered past.   Snippets of history.  Great aunt joan, painting on the shack wall every big fish that the family caught (we went and saw it later).  Those that died in the war. Great-aunts who never married.
