Mine died 20 years ago and would be 110ish now but I still miss them so much

The bolster on the bed
An old silky jacquard pink blanket that went under the eiderdown
Warm milk with a teaspoon of grated nutmeg
The sweet bowl next to the fruit bowl
Shape with jelly
Pies
Gin and Its
A kitchen that wasn't always spotless
Whiff of horse, hay and Goddard's linament and occasionally Shalimar
Complete no nonsense attitude but so so kind
Every time I look at dd: petite, blonde, blue eyed and the image of grannie (and named for her)

Happy Easter everyone - we hope you're all enjoying the sunshine.

Thanks for all the nominations for Classics - we reckon this thread and all the v lovely posts it contains should be preserved for posterity and so we're going to move it over now.

Old Spice aftershave, obscenely loud shirts, a handbag and matching shoes for every occasion and the tastiest chicken casserole on earth are the first thoughts that spring to my mind...not all the same grandparent there, I hasten to add...Easter Grin

Cheers to all the grandparents who've left us with such cherished memories. Flowers
