Big hello Margaret. Thank you, I actually located my mothers cousin.....it was him who was wondering about the skittles as he remembered being a small boy visiting from London!. Janet gave you photos that you forwarded to me and he was the little boy! I will let him know he isnt going mad. Hope you are well xx
