Auntie Margret had this look, it’s difficult to describe but when you caught her eye you were drawn in with warmth and kindness, topped off with a friendly smile. She was always interested in what I was doing and how my family were getting on and she was direct and honest, there were no throw away words. Auntie Magret was one of the few people who supported me in everything I did and would regularly say “well done Gaz”, it meant a lot.
I spent much of my childhood with Her and my cousins in Espinade Gardens and have many happy memories, especially of the huge family gatherings at Christmas and the fantastic Christmas dinners. Magret was a great cook, it was Chez Marguerite where I developed my culinary pallet as she would insist that I eat my greens before leaving the table, I learnt that patience is a virtue and now love my greens and can’t eat a pea without remembering her.
Thanks for the support and memories you will be greatly missed xxx
