Sunday morning and the washing is on the line to dry,5 eggs from the hens already,and I have been into the town for a paper,it will soon be time for elevenses comprising coffee and a couple of morn cremeen biscuits .
I really came on to tell you about another relative, my mothers oldest sister Rosie,who lived most of her 93 years near the London north circular road ,smoking 60 Players Weights a day and washing down the nicotine with more Guinness than an Irish Navvy could consume,with the odd brandy for medicinal purposes,Auntie Rosie not being a great cook unlike my dear old mother,much processed food was eaten at her residence,and no doubt many a morn cremeen biscuit was dunked in tannin rich tea.
Longevity is a very time consuming event in some peoples lives,and I was thinking it would be a shame to eat a so called healthy diet and them succumb to some swine flu virus which does not recognise the fact that you are immune to illness,if I might pinch a joke from the paper,is somebody telling porkies about this new flu.

There is always the exception to the rule. I think if you look at the stats, you will find that most smokers die an early death riddled with sickness. And I don't believe your fictitious aunt had processed foods as they didn't have much processed foods in those days.
My Auntie Rosie died in 1990,and None of the blog is made up,in fact I took Florrie to meet her one time I was taking our Emma to stay for a week,I used to drink with Rosie in "The Goat" pub in enfield town when I took paintings to the Treadwell gallery for exhibition.Her sister in law is still alive and phones us frequently she has just had her 95th birthday.
