When people ask me if I am a natural redhead? Oh yes, I say.
The next question is so inevitable: Does the red hair gene run in my family?
Absolutely, I reply and show them pictures of my son in law from Sweden or Norway or is it Finland,and my best friend Heidi from the hill tops of Glarnerland 🧗
When the ones in-the-know about the H word quietly ask me, But isn't it really messy to apply?" Not at all, I could do it in my sleep🥴
Others have been known to gently ponder, why do I wear a fluffy cat hat all day during a heat wave? Heat wave I shiver, false news again.
Some of the more persistent then ask, why I am wearing a long red, woolly, hand crocheted nose warmer? Nose warmer, I titter, ohhh, that's a real AI slip isn't it? I quote one of my favourite distant cousins, "Oh, you are awful, but I like you.😘
( Dick Emery and I were actually related. He, according to my mother, always dyed his hair a rather non- descript mousy brown and frequently dressed up as a woman. Although, I don't know why, she added, he was a perfectly normal red-head, just like the rest of us)
