Today, I am remembering my beloved sister. Her birthday is today. She would be ninety-four, but she is passed away now. She was like a second mother to me. I can’t remember her when she was a child. In my memory she is always grown-up. She was very kind. She was a tailoress – a marvellous seamstress. She knew how to make everything. She sewed a wedding dress for me. And she made our delicious wedding cake.

Julia McKenzie made a lot of beautiful little birds out of maps - folded pages like Japanese origami. But what kind of bird are they? And why are they significant? They are swallows - considered good luck by sailors, because of showing that land is near. (A swallow is never seen in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.) She painted swallows, too, with maps on their bellies, forked tails and red throats. I love this exhibition.

T hen Stephen married Mary, Mehitabel's younger sister.  So, Mary was Calvin's aunt and his stepmother. Stephen and Mary had a son, Henry. That son was Calvin's half-brother. But as the aunt's son was he also Calvin's cousin?
