How Long?!

[davidgillon]

We did the entertaining visiting relatives thing for lunch: my aunt and uncle (my mother's brother), plus two of the cousins (her sister's kids).

Almost the first thing my cousing Lynn said was "How long is it since I last saw you?" and held out a hand at elbow height. I don't think it's quite that long, I think I saw her at a wedding (possibly hers) when I was in my late teens, but that's still 35 years! Admittedly she has spent most of the intervening time in Australia.

Not quite so long for my cousin Leslie, but certainly a decade, possibly two. And I think only 4 or 5 years for uncle Norman and auntie Jean.

Lovely to see them, but where the hell did all the time go?
