I was part of a large immediate family since I had five sibs, although we were a bit short of distant relatives. In part because I suppose we, my parents, came from fairly conservative backgrounds. Not entirely so, but fairly conservative backgrounds, and when they joined the Labour movement, after the '14-'18 war, they either were cut off, or did cut themselves off, from relatives. So, as a child I never felt embedded in a larger family group, but just in this, sort of, nucleus of lefties.
