Dear Mary, like my Mother, you are taller than me. The most I have made is 5'4" minus 1/2 centimetre (nowt like mixing up your measurements). My dear mother can still put out her arm (horizontally) and I fit under it. My dear sister, Liz, made it to 5'4"!!!
Sending much care and many huggles, Michelle xxxx
Oh - Zebby Cat was named so becoz of the Zebra stripes on his hind leggies!!!
