Aunt Julia

• 'welcoming me with a seagulls voice'

  
• 'listening to crickets being friendly'

  
• 'she was buckets and water flouncing into them'

  
• 'she wore men's boots'

  
• 'getting angry, getting angry at so many questions answered'

  
• 'She was winds pouring wetly'

  
• 'She was brown eggs, black skirt and a keeper of threepennybits in a teapot.'

  
• 'drawing yarn marvellously out of the air'
