Grandma

It's been a looong day.. up at 6 for the early train south. We stopped off at Wigan, a place for which I have a soft spot. D used to work there and I really liked the people we met during that time. We had breakfast in a cafe and spent a happy hour in the Museum of Wigan Life before catching another train to Eccleston Park. Marie (Grandma) will be 80 on Monday and we were visiting for a surprise birthday party. Here she is with Sarah just after our arrival.

Our present to her was a newspaper from 24th February 1934 which we have all been reading tonight. Fascinating how the world has changed so much and yet not at all.
