She worked in a munitions factory down there. She looked after me a lot after school and during the holidays so that both my parents could go to work. She was my third parent I suppose. We didn't always see eye-to-eye either, and it's always struck me as odd that I still feel guilt for some of our arguments (not to mention my transgressions), given that I was just a child at the time. What a lovely tribute. :)

She died 15 years ago, but we miss her and talk about her often. Such a great personality, not very motherly, not at all interested in domestic affairs, but opinionated, interested in history, literature, knitting, embroidery. I could go on. She could also be a pain, but never indifferent. My favourite photo is from her last summer, when she was 92. She and my son are swinging on their separate swings, and Oldemor is almost laughing her head off. My life wouldn’t have been the same without my granny, and my daughter says the same about her.
