Grannie

Happy 99th Birthday Grannie!
My two favourite photos of Grannie. 
The photo on the left was taken with her twin sister Louisa (Grannie has her finger in her ear). Their mother, Pearl, had taken them to the photographers for a portrait, when the photographer saw how gorgeous they looked in their pram he insisted he take shots of them as is. I think they're 12mths old here.
The other image was taken about a week ago and is possibly my favourite because even though Grannie isn't always the person I remember her to be, that is the same smile I grew up with.

  2. Don't let that smile fool you - she's a true Leonian! I believe it's her sharp stubborn nature coupled with a desire for knowledge that has seen her live to this age.
