When I was a kid my parents kept their wills in the airing cupboard. That did not mean much to mean when I was a lad but as I got older I kept finding them tucked in the back of this cupboard.

It eventually dawn on me that these were important documents and my curiosity was aroused. I never did open the envelopes or try the various ways of steaming them opn without anyone knowing. I didn’t doodle on the envelope either.

What is important about such an arrangement is that is is anthing but a safe place for will storage.

there was me to contend with let alone the fire risk (both parents wer smokers) and potentially ddgy electrics due to ecessive use of electric fires. it makes me shiver now to think about it.
