I was left,a small,dilapidated cottage, a small cross dog,and £3k
when I was 14 year old.
From a retired school teacher, who lived down the lane,from my parents.
I had avoided her,and her cottage as much as possible when she was a live,because other children told me she was a witch, and believe me,everything seemed plausible, when your 6 years old walking down dark lanes,in the winter, I was always petrified for years,I use to bolt pass her cottage.
Now her little dog,( Ruby) was a frequent unannounced visitor to our house,and I was always given the job of returning her to old ( Mrs Gillespie)
That was the only times,I reluctantly spoke to her,she use to grab my jumper sleeve and pull me into her kitchen, I was powerless,against her strength especially as I was holding Ruby by a bit of string.
The kitchen was dark,damp,out dated,and had strange odours ,and presevering jars ,full of all sorts.
