It seems unreal when I look at her and recall the day we had a spat.
We both wanted to use the sink at the same time. She got annoyed with me and tipped a saucepan of potatoes in water over my head and I retaliated by tipping a bowl of socks I was washing, over her head,soap suds as well. She was a bit shocked?
The kitchen was swamped.When dad came home she told him the boiler tap had leaked.
Thanks mum. xxxx LOVE DENIS
Hi Dennis
Lovely story, I reckon we've all got one like that about our old mums, your obviously having a difficult time at the moment and I bet painting that superb portrait meant more than any landscape.
Hope to see you over the park again one day
