A bag of apples, a pot of homemade jam, a scribbled note, a bunch of golden flowers, a coloured pebble, a box of seedlings, an empty scent bottle for the children. . . . Who needs diamonds and van-delivered bouquets?

A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges and experimental go-carts. Someone to send on messages to Mum.

A sister is the cure for swollen heads and ego trips. One may a star, a Chief Executive-famous and rich and beautiful. But one's sister has the family photo album. And a long, long memory. And a tendency to wink at one on Top Occasions.

A cat likes to hear you calling him. He sits in a bush a yard from your shoes - and listens.
Pam Brown

It should be possible to exist with only a short shelf of books, to read and give away. After all - we may not open a book, once read, for ten years or more. But the act of reading has made it part of us - to relinquish it would be to lose an extension of our being.

However time or circumstances may come between mother and her child, their lives are interwoven forever.
Pam Brown

Dads are most ordinary men turned by love into heroes, adventurers, story-tellers, singers of songs.

When sisters stand shoulder to shoulder, who stands a chance against us?
