"Auntie" wasn't really a true Aunt, more one of those somehow connected to the family Auntie's, but lovely, local, and widowed. She lived close to where I worked, and as i'd learned to drive when I was 17, I was useful in being able to call round to do odd jobs. I didn't work on a Friday afternoon, and she was a matron at the hospital across the road from where she lived. I don't think had ever really been mentioned before I called to see her; maybe something about her working at the hospital, but not the matron thing.
She was lovely, always made a fuss of me, bought cake for me, slipped me a tenner for fuel, etc, etc.
I was very fit when I was young, ran a lot, went to the gym etc, etc, but was useless with girls. I'd had girlfriends, but didn't know how to behave around them, so never read signs etc.
One afternoon i'd been cutting Auntie's hedge for her, and popped upstairs to use the loo, as the downstairs one i'd always used was broken. Hanging on the back of the door was her uniform, which made me think. Now she wasn't Hatti Jacque's, but she was a big, bosomy lady, probably 40 years older than me, and widowed as long as i'd known her. I must have made some uniform comment, which made her reply with something like "what did you think I wore". She teased me a little about if I liked women in uniform, but I was clueless, and she certainly wasn't overly pushy.
Over that Summer, i'd helped her with gardening, a few repairs etc, etc, so spent a lot of time at her house. On a couple of occasions, she would be at work, so I had a key. I started to see a lot of her in uniform, and began to realise I had a proper uniform fetish, especially when filled by a motherly, caring, efficient type of woman.
One afternoon, when she had returned from work while I was there, and without her knowing, or any planning on my part, I caught a glimpse of her walking from her bedroom to the bathroom, in white underwear with black stockings, which of course would go with the dark blue uniform she wore. I'd never seen a lady in stockings and suspenders before; well, not outside a Grattan's catalogue!
