Just Got Back From Yet Another Funeral In Barrow.

The others were local. Only 12 people there but the crem said up to 25 allowed.

A few small snowflakes falling outside now, won't last.

Missus now going through old piccy albums, hundreds of her as a child, keep her quiet for a while.

Most of our neighbours are , like us, are in there 70's.

The three recent deaths were in there 80's.

One I drove to local Bingo and back each week.

I did the shopping for next door , she was bedridden, and Jim was in hospital.

Still, life goes on.

Hi APG, yes, I agree.

Your wife's mother's cousin. Trying to work this out, would that make her your wife's great aunt?

[SparklyKid]

It is confusing. The deceased's mother and my wifes grandmother were sisters. My wifes mother and the deceased were cousins.

I think that makes my wife a second cousin, though she always referred to her as an aunt.

2nd cousin twice removed I think, LB. Or something like that.

[Peter Pedant]

erm I was thinking first cousin once removed

I mentioned on another thread that a relative of mine, 3rd cousin, passed away yesterday from covid. He was in his early 50s and had been in hospital a few weeks. His wife is also in hospital with covid.

[SparklyKid]

sorry to hear that tiggs.

[tiggerblue10]

I'm easily confused PP.

So much sadness around, Sparkly.
