Lena

This is my grandma and she is an absolute legend.

She probably wouldn't like this picture but we went round for pizza tonight and she was quite thoughtful and this seemed to catch it nicely. She's getting into her late 80's now, just had an op on a cataract, has arthritis, etc. and she still works on her allottment and gets irritated if people need to do anything for her.

She's definitely one of my heroes; she's been a recycling, vegetarian all my life. I've never seen her dye her hair or put on anything other than lipstick. She rode a bike into her 80's and is still one of the most sociable people i've known even after having been mugged and having her house broken into.

She's ACE!
