In memory of a super aunt. So much like her sister, Phoebe. Lots of happy memories
Ruth, Alf and their children, Melanie and David, were my neighbours for the first 24 years of my life. David and I were in each others' houses all the time, and Ruth was to be found being busy, constantly. It seemed to me that if the wallpaper had been up for a couple of months, it was bound to be time to replace it. Such a hard-working, cheerful and sensible person- a true matriarch. That kind of attitude is how you get to be 102! Ruth was a one-off, a hard act to follow. God rest her soul.
