I just had a phone call from my cousin Bill Lindsey in Surrey, who told me wonderful stories about my great grandfather, whom he knew during WWII: "He treated me like a man, which was a pretty big deal for me, seeing as I was only 16..."
The news is that I have a cousin, Bill's son, who is a university professor in ... guess where...
Durham.
Odd little coincidence, wot?
Bill and Daphne live in Windlesham. I looked it up on the net and it's a lovely little village boasting some illustrious residents.
I told him, "I saw on the net that your neighbours are the Duchess of York and the Queen."
"We don't see much of them..." he said rather drily.
