I am a goat

Auntie missed our family gathering over Christmas because she had a cold. We knew she was feeling better today when a suggestion that we visited for tea was met with a curt: "You gonna bring me a Victoria sponge?"

Auntie doesn't buy Christmas presents. Instead, she takes the whole family out for dinner. Last year this took until September to organise. June is pencilled in for the next one and woe betide anybody who drops out because the old girl will also be celebrating her 90th.
