Favourite Memory

The theme for Mono Monday.  As others have said, it's impossible to pick one favourite memory.  However, as I don't think about my grandmother much - she was a quiet little lady from a troubled family background - I thought I'd give her a mention today.  

She was a lady of her time, and tea with Grandma and Grandpa was thinly sliced bread and butter, a piece of cake, and leaf tea: all served using a bone china tea service.  The bone china, alas, has not survived the years, but this little house has.  It always contained jam, and fascinated me as a child.  Modern shop-bought jam spooned from the jar is definitely not the same.
