Even more Friday.
Hello again Ruth and Tribe. Having reread my last blog I see that I've left out the point ot the story. Which is that (as Pa used to say when telling the story) "She picked off a long line of lillies as neat as you please with an air rifle, cutting each one off about a foot above the ground." I hope that makes it clear. Great Gran sends her love to you all, as do Mummy and I. Love Pa.

Thank you. But please will you tell the story about the bullet hole in the bedroom wall soon. Your mother-in-law wouldn't say who had caused it only that it just missed her!
And please tell Gran that several of her gt. grandchildren seem to have inherited her talent, Mimi and Fuff tried using an air rifle while they were here and filled our empty tins full of holes.
Do I rightly recall Dorothy also had a beautifully light-weight russeted Purdey 12-bore (I seem to remember handling one over Welney way and it came up to the firing position like a well trained pointer.) Does Ann perhaps have it now or am I getting mis-muddled again?
Regarding the Hole-in-the-wall gang, do you always remember to check if your new acquisitions have been left loaded before operating the firing mechanism?
