Meet my new friend.
I was lucky enough to grow up with all my grandparents and to not only clearly remember 3 of my great-grandparents, but I also had a really good relationship with "Great-Granny" until I was 18. She had been born in 1898 – while Queen Victoria was still alive!
I now sadly have just one grandparent left and she is in England so I thought the "Friendly Visitor" program would be a great way to brighten up someone's life.
So, I visit "Auntie" for an hour or so, once a week – sometimes also stopping in at other times for a flying visit. Dexter often visits with me and is very popular!
This photo is at her recent 92nd Birthday Party wearing her favourite top and new birthday scarf knitted and gifted by another friendly visitor!
And one thing she has in common with many of us? She is also a chocaholic!
