family traits
My 90 year aunt rubs her distorted, arthritic, hands. Despite this distortion I find her hands beautiful. Her gently winkled skin doesn’t betray her grand age
Knarled and dapper
Mumsie and her elder sister try to remember the names and professions of their long-past elderly relatives who were mainly females:
- Hetty, Emma, Amy Parkinson….
- unmarried
Even the married female relatives lived as-if they were unmarried – without their husbands, running thier own businesses:
- a Milliner – HATS!!!
- a sweetshop owner

I love that photo of her beautiful hands! Sounds like you come from a family with a lot of strong women.
