Lovely picture of Mikey, I think I'll put it up on the family tree.
I think 'pooter has been sneaking a look at comments on your earlier blogs - The unusually normal v-word is 'porters' - it'll be asking me next what sixpence is! (To which I shall reply "Good reason for a porter to carry my luggage and tip his cap!")
There's not a lot of Soph, anyway, horizontally/laterally. Tall though she is, she reminds me very much of what the ancient mathematician said about a straight line having length but no breadth.
'Pooter has come up with a strange fen dialectal v-word 'herses' as in "Them as ain't hisns are herses." Although I seem to recall hern being used as the singular possessive pronoun. A lingering Dutch influence in the locality I suppose.
