My earliest memory of 'Auntie Moll' goes back to about 1950. She had been drafted in by my mother Debbie Sharpe to babysit two very small boys for an evening. We were being bathed in a tin bath in front of the fire. I had been done and it was now the turn of my brother. I remember watching this from a vantage point which can only have been the mantlepiece (!) or one of the shelves in the cupboard. We survived.
I grew up to know Moll better, as I did her two brothers. I liked the Dickinsons very much - good solid people. The passing of an age. Much sympathy.
