As A Tribute...

[melv16]

...to my 95yr old mother who died on Saturday, I decided to cook my pancakes last night in lard... They were delicious. She was from that age group that rendered everything down to a mush and olive oil was something you put in your ears:)

[ummmm]

I'm sorry to hear that, Melv. I hope you're okay x

I'm sorry for yor loss Melv. My dear old Dad used to eat doorstep (white breadof course) sandwiches plastered in beef dripping covered in salt, for added goodness!

[melv16]

Thanks ummm. I'm busy organising the funeral, clearing the house etc. She was profoundly deaf and her eyesight was failing and found it very difficult to walk. In a way it was a blessing, as her quality of life was poor. I'll still miss her though:-(

[Mamyalynne]

Lovely tribute and I am sure she left you many happy memories too.

Take care Melv.x

Thankyou Margo and mamya. I've been sorting out 95yrs of belongings. She must have had 40 cardigans:)

Of course you'll miss her, every time I cook something that my grandma taught me I still miss her after almost 40 years.
