Not an auntie in the conventional sense.
My mum and her siblings were Barnardo's orphans in South London, if fortune shone on any of them it was probably my mum. Our 'aunt' used to visit the home and developed a bond with her which led to a kind of unofficial adoption. She retired and moved from London to Holt where she died a couple of years ago, leaving behind some amazing stories and a curiosity of what ifs.
