Esther's bowls

This time of year makes me recall writing letters as a youngster. In particular, to my maternal grandparents in England.

Grandpa and Grandma lived in Biggin Hill, Kent. My spelling was not so good. They loved "Esther" and wondered who this special lady was in my life (Easter) and in a separate letter "my sluggish bowls" (bowels) made them laugh.

They especially loved to tease me about the latter.

At this time of year I still think about Esther.
