Yeah... Big Sis had much the same. Like our paternal grandfather, she
went grey early. Dunno why people say we look like mum. Big Sis is the
spitting image of my dad's Auntie Kate, and I'm almost a carbon copy of
his mum ('cept she had Titian red hair, and mine started gold and went a
sort of russet/brown).
Genes are funny things. GMNT has his dad's feet - exactly!
