Easter this year marks one year since Granny passed away. Peacefully slipping away in her sleep with her family surrounding her. She was my Mother’s Mother. Granny was very different to my Grandma.

But what a year 2020 was! And what a start to 2021. Really those few words hardly encapsulate what someContinue reading “2020….”
