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:)

Sorry for your loss melv, she sounds a bit like my old mum who passed away 30 years ago aged 75.When we were clearing the house it was incredible what we found,I think she'd saved every receipt she'd ever been given and enough photos to fill a room,most of which are now boxed up and stored in my loft.

Melv...tis funny what you find even in such a sad task......

Under my mother's mattress we found a fairly recent receipt for a gun and some ammunition......x

There's enough birthday/Christmas and greetings cards to fill 2 black refuge sacks:) Thanks again for the messages.

Sorry to hear about your Mum Melv - it's only 9 months since I lost my dear Mum too - I've been clearing her house and we have just sold it, it will be our last link with her, shall miss going in there most days. I also thought of my Mum when cooking pancakes last night - I always cook them in lard and have them made wafer thin with lemon juice and castor sugar on just as Mum taught me!
