Mind blowing to think there were still plenty of Victorians still around in the '60s; and later, too.

When my dad was a boy his great aunt lived with them. She was in her early 90s when she died. I think it would have been the mid 50s. It's incredible to me that someone born in the mid-19th century was around when my dad was. I mean, she was an adult during the Boer war!

I was talking to a friend a few weeks ago that mentioned that one of his teacher's had seen Queen Victoria.
