My Great Aunt was very ill when she was little and it was touch and go. Her mother was told to feed her loads of eggs each day. |

My OH lived at the bottom of the castle esplanade in Edinburgh. His mother used to wrap jam sandwiches in a bread wrapper and hurl them out of the window to him playing below :-D :-D :-D |
