So the day has arrived and she’s made it!!
Grandma is 100
We went round to her house in the morning to set up the shelter in case of bad weather and Sue and Mum were there already sorting a few things out and Louise and Molly also arrived. They’d been to our house first to drop off the wooden spindle I’m after so that was pleasing.
Chatted for a bit then we all went our separate ways to get ready and work etc.
Back to the house about 4.00pm and grandma came out and she was fine and in good spirits.
I had birthday music on all afternoon which was amusing and we sat around chatting etc and watching her opening her cards and presents.
Got the message from the Queen and then also a call with Derek and Brett so that was a bonus.
Also a shout out on the local radio – we turned down the offer to interview her but the message was lovely.
We had fish and chips and Sue/Simon were generous and paid and it was very nice food actually – will use them again.
Stayed quite late but she tired and went and sat in her room and we then took everything down and left to be home by 9.00pm – quite a lot later that expected.
Not enough room in the car so me, Tash and Lewis walked home.
Had a couple of drinks when we got back and chatted etc and watched a bit of TV and then off to bed
Amazing that she’s 100 years old, no idea how much longer she’ll go on for, a number of years yet I suspect.
