A Scooter Dare
It was started by Aunty Lush. It seems she’s always starting something! She posted an image of a woman on a red scooter from a great little mag for women in business called ‘Oak Magazine‘*. *They didn’t pay us, we actually like them! I’ll let the girls take it from here… So here is your […]
Travels without Aunts!
Dear Roses, Recently I (Aunty Verve) travelled to the USA. It was quite strange not having the sisters with me. There was no twirling or Tiddling Tales, but it was fantastic! It confirmed that I need to keep getting out there, sisters or no! Visiting New York and New Orleans was exciting. Something I wanted […]
High Brow Situation
Dear Roses, Do you love eyebrows? I do! Aunty Beads here! I very much have a thing for eyebrows. Always have! Eyebrows frame the eyes, accentuate expression, and often give away my thoughts before I realise I’m having them. I’m loving the current sculptured look. But I’ll talk eyebrows forever, however: arched, tapered, coloured, whatever! […]

Whats for lunch?
It’s always a treat when my phone announces time for lunch. The Paris Cat or the Gin Palace in 5 mins? I’ve only been to each venue once, at night, with friends. Could never refuse a gin or a jazz! It’s only Monday, but I dream of going there at least once at lunchtime! In the 80s […]
Sisters, Sisters
There were never such devoted sisters… and our Queen Mary of course! A few years ago The Aunties put on an affair to remember. Tiddling Tales was a gathering of aunties and stories and fabulousness. It is so seared into our memories we didn’t need to relive it. However some video shoot by the techie […]
On Being Gracious
On Being Gracious. Full stop. Permanent marker. No returns. The latest Aunties adventure began as it usually does… six weeks after the previous, eight months since the last, or tomorrow? There remains no plan or routine, just whenever we begin to feel desperately apart. It can strike, or not strike, at any time. It possibly […]
Literally Nude. Figuratively Naked.
Tonight I am taking off all my clothes. And dancing nude. In public. *wallpaper muzak aka thinking music. Shall I clarify? Aunty Mod here. The other Aunties are not, at this stage, naked. But I’m working on them! Currently I feel confronted by the fragility of health, the shortness of life, the […]
Aunty Darling and the Snuff Box
It was proving to be the most talked about mission since the Moon Landing of 1969. The Aunties were going to Bright (snow country). It was early winter. The year was 2016. The Valet had gone on holidays, no doubt to escape what was coming next. The planning! Cue: Aunty Lush newly job free, pumping […]
Stacking It.
Aunty Verve here, on the bounce! I thought the snow falls were the end of my misadventures! Wrong! It started as a pleasant bike ride with the Aunties. We were in Bright, Victorian Alpine Country, it was Autumn, perfect weather, perfect fun – or so I thought! We hired bikes for an afternoon ride out to […]
