[Nell]

I know you dont know her, but i feel so far away from everyone as they are all down south and i WANT people to have known her. I havent told the children yet and i dont know how to. I dont want to ruin thier xmas. I'll tell them tommorrow.

My grandma. She was vibrant and wicked and had the poshest voice anyone had ever heard! She was abit like a cross between Bette Davis and Mae West! She had more boyfriends and husbands than anyone i know and more wit and wisdom too.
She sometimes had a cruel tongue, always a sharp mind, amazing strength and a huge heart for her loved ones.

She tiold stories that will be with me forever, like, during the blitz she was pushing her son in his buggy. She heard a bomb dropping, she ran as fast as she could, the wheel came off the pram. She got to the next street and the bomb landed where they had just come from.

She outlived all her husbands, and her friends. But she's ok now.
R.I.P Gran, i love you.

She died on Christmas day (i'm sure on purpose!)
