HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA


Today is my Grandma C's birthday....she's my maternal grandmother & I'm sure she won't mind me saying that she's 77 today....here's a few things that I think of when I think of her, Mary....

happy holidays spent in england
(see above....that's me downing the pop!)
cosy stripey flanelette bedding
her gold swallow earrings
fidgi perfume
her love of clothes....& of bargains!
good baking....especially her famous crumbles
walks amongst the fallen leaves
very neat handwriting
milky coffee
musicals....especially calamity jane
ballroom dancing
her amazing talent for knitting
headscarves
oil of ulay (& of olay....but most of all ulay!)
autumnal colours
her love of her family
