A happy thought

Happy Birthday to Grandma. I was remembering today on Grandma's birthday that it was her birthday on the plane on the way to Mauritius, two years ago now. I remember all the lovely days on the warm beach, looking across to see her laid out on the sun lounger under the shade,; then appearing each evening all glammed up meeting us for a pre-dinner cocktail (the daiquiries were a a particular hit).

Its funny where little memories pop up. I thought of her again as we spotted some battenberg cake in the supermarket, and fancied it, so reminiscent of Grandma's Saturday evening teas at Oakley Road. So its a cup of tea and a slice of battenburg for my Grandma.

love to all, Gem xx.

I had a lovely facebook from Barbara Rich. Her name is now Malinen and she lives and works in Edinburgh. She put Rich in case I didn't remember.
Mum was very fond of her so I emailed her back with our family news.

Anyone fancy Top Trumps?
