Who could drown a goldfish or talk directly to God? Use a jigsaw as a template for china restoration? End up in the village millpond? Who planned for future blindness with military precision & sampled many of the different religions? The answer to all these questions was Giddy Aunt Lillian. She made a bank manager carry her money to a rival bank & then checked on their security. She created a pets graveyard in the back garden from which she wanted to start a new business. Fairies really did exist at the bottom of her garden & she was the bane of all the churches in the vicinity. She was every childs dream relative but every familys nightmare.
