Definitely there Veron

It's the mannerisms I try to look for rather than looks. They are the most fun to spot.

As I have got older they some to be strongerand so do the looks.

Mind you if there was one person I would really want to be like it would be Great Aunty Mary - she looked after me while Mum and Dad were at work until I was 4. Then when we moved to York she threatened to go to the Social Services and report my parents for being bad parents - They weren't but she just didn't want them to take me away from her. Whenever we went to Wales for a holiday I would stay with her and Great Uncle Owen while my parents and then my brother and sister stayed with my Gran. I was devastated when she died when I was 12 and Uncle Owen when I was 13. I still miss them so much even 30+ years on. Memories eh?

Definitely! - one thing I always think of, is when I was first married, whenever I went to a pub with my husband, he would finish his pint, and then look at me to make sure I was watching, toss his empty glass up in the air and then catch it again with the same hand - grinning wickedly all the time.

Over 25 years later, we had divorced (amicably!) and I was out with my son, who has lived with me ever since the split and spent a lot less time with his dad than with me. And he did exactly the same thing........ I couldn't believe it!! It was the wicked grin which really spooked me as well as just the action itself - and he doesn't normally look much like his dad at all, everyone says he's just like me!
