lots of my memories of Grandma focus on food! When we were little, Grandma and Ron would come to visit and we would eat her coconut cakes still frozen because we couldn't wait for the to defrost, they were so delicious!
When I was at university she would keep me and Kate supplied with fruitcake and Victoria sponges, and everyone would pile in to the shared kitchen to enjoy them!
Later on, I used to visit once a week and eat tea with her. She would make bananas and custard for dessert (even though I was 23!) much later on, and bored with the care home food, we used to sneak out for fish and chips and eat them at the local nature reserve and watch the birds.
She also enjoyed cream teas with her great grandchildren and we all knew not to choose the eclair!
She loved a bit of shopping and being able to treat herself or others and liked hear all about what was going on with everyone. She had a sharp wit, huge general knowledge and was really good with maths.
Fun, feirce, feisty and fabulous,
Love you grandma,
Jo xxx
