Curious Reflections

Truth, so they say, is stranger than fiction.

This may be so, but when anecdotes about such characters as Lam, Rugg, Great Uncle Horatius, and his disreputable companion, Stinky, plus an assortment of animals, are added to the equation, doubt about this truism can creep in.

Curious Reflections is the meandering observations, musings, and correspondence between two sisters living three hundred miles apart in England. During the course of these ramblings the line between truth and fiction can very often become decidedly blurred.

In an attempt to keep my mind off other projects...I decided to log on and see if there were any e-mails from Ann. Ann, or Mowl as she is known, is a very diligent correspondent, keeping me up to date with all the trivia and goings on down in her neck of the woods.
She is known as Mowl because when we were children we would amuse ourselves by deciding what animals people reminded us of. Because of her short-sightedness and penchant for black velvet, Ann was of course a mole, hence Mowl. For reasons we shall not go into, I was a ferret, or Pherrit (somehow the "ph" makes it seem so much better).
