visibly enjoyed her cake and I began to wonder if they had all been as slender as<br />

Elly in their youth.<br />

I've heard it said that to see your future wife look at her mother, well from<br />

looking at her female relatives the size 10 dresses wouldn't last much longer.<br />

Elly's Uncle hugged her as soon as her Aunt had finished and then he shook my<br />

hand. We were invited to the dining table not for cake this time but for meat and<br />

veg in jelly. I politely refused and was offered something else but I had Elly<br />

explain that I was set to burst.<br />

Her Uncle laughed and rubbed his belly. He produced a bottle of Old Smuggler<br />

whiskey, I liked this guy and his family already. After the horror that was vodka<br />

a good whiskey was heaven. We had drunk a few measures before Elly had<br />

finished talking to her Aunt and came to rescue me. Me and her Uncle<br />

continued to drink and laugh, his daughter emerged with her 5 year old son.<br />

couldn’t be that bad. <strong>The</strong> whole family was joyful, it was a real pleasure to be in<br />

their company but sadly time was against us so after a quick catch up with her<br />

cousin we were on the move again. Not before I had a chance to bond with<br />

another little one though. I was on a roll and it wasn’t about to stop. I was<br />

throwing him about and pulling out my best physical comedy. Entertaining a 5<br />

year old entertains those around him, there is something infectious in their<br />

laughter.<br />

Was I going to be that easy to please in a few years?
