My Nan

This was my Nan on her 70th birthday

It would have been my Nan's 91st birthday today so I wanted to write a little post about her to celebrate her memory. She was my Mum's Mum so I like to think that they'll be up there somewhere having tea and cake and nattering about us all.

My Nan was one of those people who adored spending time with her family. She would drop anything to do things with us. Her door was always open and we could go round any time we liked.

Nan was always baking and her apple pies and ground rice pies are the best pies I've ever tasted. No one can make pies like my Nan.

If we asked Nan if she would take us on a bike ride she'd tell us to get our shoes on and off we'd go, just like that. If we wanted to go to the seaside she'd take us on the bus for the day.

In the school holidays she'd treat us to a sausage roll from Cooplands Bakery, a treat all of us grandchildren looked forward to.

It'll be 13 years in September since my Nan died and all of us grandchildren still talk about her, still share memories, still laugh about things she did. It's a testament to her life that we all loved her so much and still miss her.

Thinking of you today Nan. x
