THE IRONING BOARD BLUES, BY STEVIE TURNER

When I was but twelve years old

Oh, I loved that poem and am still giggling….It’s even relevant to my own m-i-l in a different way.When my first two sons were small, she insisted on coming over once a month to ‘help’ (eek) and I saved ironing for her so she could sit down…Both sons were unwell on one visit, one waiting for an op. for a hernia, the other with a bad cold, so they were ‘grisly’ poor souls. After ironing every sock, towel & likely item in sight, she unplugged the iron and said: “I’m leaving now, I’ll come round when the boys are older.” (true) and I didn’t see her for two years…. I could add more, but won’t….Hugs xx
