June report

At a recent meeting at Joyce's house, we discussed Childhood memories of biting insects.   And the horrid things children did for amusement to the said insects.

There was some discussion on familial resemblance and colouring, such as red hair that can skip a generation only to re-emerge in later generations.

Still on the theme of childhood, infectious diseases that are not seen nowadays with the advent of vaccines.   Measles was mentioned with its connection with shingles and the need for the over 70's to get the vaccine.

The next meeting is at Phyllis on Monday 6th July.
