Remembering Nungate

[queenofmean]

Sitting here laughing at this, she loved to play this when I was feeling down or had a bad day. Been doing a lot of thinking about her and I just wondered if anybody had any memories of her from here that they wanted to share.

I may not have chatted much with your Mum, but I did note she had a keen and dry wit - something I really admire. Also very level headed, a lady I'm sure I would have got along with very well.

Keep smiling Queenie.x

[queenofmean]

Thank you Mamya, she did indeed. Sometimes I feel, it was wasted on me, but the times I did get it it was a lot of fun. I am certain that you would have got on like a house on fire.

I will do, hoping she will be watching over me when I go off on my travels tomorrow xx

Did she not take over the Mad Over Fifties Club from Lady Alex on Saturday nights?

[Mamyalynne]

She most certainly did become the second incumbent after we drew up the portcullis and a very fine affair it continued to be.

[Mamyalynne]

Or dropped it down , oops - that wasn't my job gladly. :-)

[anneasquith]

I found her very pleasant. She worried about your toes :')

[queenofmean]

She did and I'm hoping at some point to re-start it but I just need a bit of time to fine tune myself into her way of thinking - and I know I'm not mad or over 50 but she let me join in.

[queenofmean]

She didn't half Anne lol

[ladyalex]

I didn't chat to her much either, but when I did I enjoyed her sense of humour.
Chin up, queen. She sure wouldn't want you to be sad.

[queenofmean]

Thank you ladyalex :)

[anneasquith]

No she wouldn't want you to be sad, but it's nice to think about the good times you had together, you both had "" an interesting to me"" when you were a teenager Queenie, so how proud she must have been when you got your diabetes sorted :-)

I remember Nungate and the fun she created on her 50s nights. I had some giggles reading them. You were lucky to have such a caring and amusing mum and we were lucky to share her x

[queenofmean]

She was but I think at times she wanted to know what made me end up that way but I don't know. Thank you Tambourine, she was an amazing woman and a fab mum. It was my pleasure to share her with you.

I'm off to bed but I will look in to see what you all have posted in the morning.

Night night xx

[tamborine]

Your mum was probably fearful of leaving you to fend for yourself. She would be proud to see how youve managed. Sleep well & talk to your mum, you know she is with you.

[maggiebee]

Often took part in her roffle though I never won anything - miss the Mad Over 50s Club.

[cupid04]

She kindly invited me on the mad ladies outing to Edinburgh. Alas I couldn't go. But I was very touched she asked me.

[NoMercy]

She's probably looking down on you now, beaming with pride x

[queenofmean]

Thank you NoM - after today she would have been proud!
I'm sure we can arrange something though Cupid :)
I'll see if I can rig it Maggie ;)

Nungate introduced me to cross stitching for which I will ever be thankful
She was always berating me for trying to do things which were difficult for beginners, like stitching on a black background and attempting quarter, half, three quarter and squashed stitches. I persevered.
We had lots of interesting phone calls, usually late at night.
I miss her, Nungate Towers and her and her enthusiasm.
Nungate often talked about you and about how important you were to her.
Love, Daisy.
We had quite a few laughs about our disasters around the home.
Although we never met I regarded her as a close friend.
