In praise of sisters

June 2010 211

Don’t you wish you had a sister who whisked you off to stay in a beach hut for the night?

The sweet little kitchen…

And enough room upstairs for four – so two of us had plenty of space…

Sisters are great. You can have a laugh with them, talk for hours with them, or sit in silence, drinking wine and watching the sun go down…

They’ll tell you when you’re being daft, give you a hug when you’re sad, and when you want to to buy a voluminous floral smock trimmed with satin ribbon in Jigsaw - which looks lovely on the petite and pretty dark-haired twenty-something assistant – they’ll suggest that if you buy it, you might regret it when you get home. And then when you’ve resisted and left the shop without said smock – which was obscenely expensive anyway, and three times as much as you normally spend on a blouse - they will tell you it made you look like Grayson Perry.

Grayson Perry! I shall never be able to look at you in the same light again.

I have a brother but no sisters. I always wanted at least one but my parents, strangely, refused my request. What I do have, however, is a lovely daughter who keeps me on an even keel, much as your sister does you. Thank goodness for relatives!
