I meant to post this ages ago. One night during dinner we asked Leo to describe in one word what he thought of us all. Here are the results:
Mormor (my mother) – never ageing
Nirosa (our housemaid) – kind
Olivia (sister) – trouble
Bea (sister) – capricious (long word for such a small boy)
Mamma (me) – beautiful
Granny (Rupert’s mother) – posh
Grandpa (Rupert’s father) – funny
Daddy – astonishing
Hugo (brother) – amusing
Julia (sister) – sweet
Uncle Tim (Rupert’s brother) – sensible
Uncle Si (Rupert’s other brother) – enthusiastic
Benedetto (my father) – a character
Norrie (family friend) – optimistic
Mary (Norrie’s wife) – calm
Leo – sexy!
