Over on her blog, Jessie Mo has been discussing the glories of a family gossip session. When I was a kid visiting Don Mary and The Feuhrer I loved it when it was time to pop in on The Aunts - Tilly & Skeets, and sometimes Aroma would be there too - for some afternoon tea and a gossip. Apart from all the delicious Aunt Food, there was plenty of mysterious adult conversation. Most of the meaning and context was lost on my young and small brain, but the occasional drop in voices to hushed tones, and the sheer delight the grown-ups obviously took in discussing others, made it all rather fascinating and compelling.
I am the type of person who is enthralled by speculation on the lives of people I don't even know. Gossip mags were made for me.
