Aunt Bessie. Mrs Roger’s Mother She was related to almost everybody in the village.

She would sit on a dining chair dangerously tilting on the back legs  and  tell stories of the Cove, of under the window seat of a passage to the Cove in smuggling days.

Alternately tell of how to make the best Cornish  Pasty in Cornwall.

Mr and Mrs Rogers.

Staying with Mrs Rogers was to be spoilt by a wonderful cook and great hospitality.

Still remember the Lemon Meringue Pie, any left over would be left on the mantle piece in the bedroom for later consumption.
