As Ive almost finished with my family history, I thought you might like to meet my neighbours, Mr and Mrs Kipper, also known to us as Mabel and Moses. A lovely couple, always ready to help me out when Ive had a few too many sherries and cant get in my house. I really wish I had teeth like theirs, such beautiful smiles dont you think? Their are rumours that they are brother and sister living as man and wife, well I dont believe that tosh! After all their 8 children are all fairly normal. (But I must admit, when Ive seen them playing with the burnt out bus down our street, several of them may have a few too many toes here and there) Not to worry, maybe thats normal where they come from, they moved here from Burnley.
Mabel bakes lovely jam tarts for me, she likes to experiment, she made a batch with branston pickle in them last week. They were tasty with a bit of tinned tongue from Spar.
Moses is a true gentleman, Mabel says he even gets out of the bath to have a wee! Now thats class! He also collects photos of red pillar boxes he frames them and displays them on the walls in the house. He travels to places as far flung as Birmingham to get the shots, they are very pretty and go very well with the red cushions on their couch.
I think Mabel looks like that lady that used to do fancy cooking on the telly, shes very glamorous, and alway wears white stilletoes despite the weather. She tells me she was a model in her heyday, I think she said she worked for Wilkinsons.
