On Saturday I attended a family gathering, which revolved largely around the siblings of my maternal grandmother. She herself died a few years ago, but many of her sisters were present and all of them were nurses, as were my grandmother and her identical twin sister. My aunty, who happened to be in Auckland, is also a nurse. And so is one of my second cousins. So we talked about nursing, and a jolly good time was had by all.
Another second cousin, Catherine, presented me with some lolly cake, having looked for the recipe on the web and found my site. Apparently I rate very highly in Google lolly cake searches, although the recipe is unfortunately not available on my site. I shall remedy that forthwith.
