Wednesday

An early morning funeral for my neighbour, Ann. Bradford on Avon Carnival Queen 1954.

Stories of her 20 years at the (long closed) local maternity unit were shared.  She looked after me after each of my 3 babies. Midnight hot chocolates and words of wisdom with her. Those precious days for so many new mums of the 1980s and 90s.  What a lovely legacy to leave. Made me weep.

Tessa's young niece and nephew are visiting.  They have asked to walk Hetty this afternoon.  That'll be fun!
