My Gran

Today would have been the 119th birthday of my maternal grandmother who died when I was 10. My memories of her are largely affectionate, my late mother's less so - she was without doubt a less judgemental grandmother than mother.

I have two albums that belonged to my gran. The earlier one contains an entry from my grandfather-to-be when they both would have been 14. At this time, they were living in different cities, about 25 miles apart, and so I'm not sure how they knew each other.

The extra shows the two entries that my grandfather made to the later album 2 or 3 years before they married.
