Week 40's prompt is 10 - and the first response that springs to mind is that my father was one of ten siblings. As Dad was the second youngest of the siblings and in his 40s when he had children, all my cousins are quite a bit older then I am - some even have children who are my senior. Family gatherings can be a bit of a generation game, and I certainly missed out on growing up with a groups of cousins my own age.
Given the range of ages amongst the 10 Green siblings, the oldest were leaving home while the youngest were still toddlers, so there are few photos of all 10 siblings together. I only have one picture of them all, taken when they were adults at their mother's funeral in 1965.

From other family gathering I have several of the Green siblings together, but this is the only one I have of all of them at once, which makes it quite special.
