Hiya guys this blog post isn't going to be like my last ones its all about the good memories as today we had a great send of for her, which was amazing. Lets get into the happy stuff haha.
when I was about 7 or 8 years old my parents went on holiday and my Grandma Joan looked after me for the week but the day they flew her and my Granddad Tom was still away, so I spent that night at my auntie Gills. The next day they both took my swimming at waves it was amazing and so much fun, although my Grandma Joan didn't come into the pool but was still so much fun spending time with her. Also when we ever went anywhere in her car we use to try and beat the traffic lights this memory has always stuck in my head, I can still see and hear her laughing know, this beating the traffic light games was played every time we came to a traffic light, the rules was we had to drive really slowly when approaching a red traffic light and to see if we can get there their without stopping, if we was still moving and the light changed to green we won the traffic light, my Grandma Joan was great at this game wit won the traffic light nearly every time.
I also remember her giving my smarty cookies and milk before bed every night when she looked after me and I use to kneel at the coffee table that was against the living room wall while watching what ever there was on TV. One night she said " Jade should we get KFC and my Grandma Joan and Granddad Tom never really had takeaway so this was a bonus, although my Grandma Joan was a great cook I loved her cakes and pudding and my Granddad Tom grew cucmumbers and he use to give me loads ( I love cucmubers and still do). Nearly every time i came over she would of made me a pavalover with cram and rasberries mmm!!!! they was the best that was ever made. I also remember having cream soda at her house all the time, it was a staple at my there house. I use to spend every birthday at my Granma Joans and Granddad Toms house because my birthday lands on boxing day, we use to spend it with the whole family and have a family birthday party there, although this stopped when I turned 14 or 15 I think I'm not to sure.
She use to love doing cross stitch she was great at it I always remember them being around her home surrounding family photos of the family.
When I got a little older my parents went on holiday again with out me I was only in my teens this time so still not old enough to be on my own. This time instead of my staying with her and my Granddad Tom she came and stayed on my house, without my Granddad Tom though. She made my tea everyday, she would shout me in when I was out, it would be sitting at the table ready for me to eat, every Sunday she would watch "songs of praise" although its not something I would watch it will know always remind my of her.
Little message to my Grandma Joan
