Childhood Memories
Added by Lou
The other day I was talking to Mam, just because I've been unwell lately...like "flu unwell"...when you can't get out of bed! It made us think back to childhood, & anytime we were unwell with anything, how we loved having visitors! I loved it when I was poorly in bed up in my room, (not loving the fact I was ill, just to clarify that lol), & in the evening, you'd suddenly hear your voice with Grandad. You'd have usually both been at work, then he'd collect you & you'd come over. I just knew you'd come up & I'd get a really lush cuddle! You didn't care what I may have had, & I can remember exactly how those cuddles felt! I remember yr cool hand on my face, & the smell of Chanel No 14 mixed with a lipstick that always had a lovely smell! I can see it in my mind, I'm sure the casing was blue, but can't remember the make...I will remember it though! It's the only one that smells like that 🥰 Anyway, there'd be a bunch of magazines, Ribena, a glass bottle of the old lucozade in orange wrapping, & various types of chocolate etc, for when I was feeling better. And although I may have felt awful, more so as it was night, I felt safe & comforted up in my lovely plumped up bed, drifting off to the sound of adults talking downstairs....thank you for every special cuddle when I wasn't well....I remember all of them. Miss you so so much. Love you, & pass on my love to everyone on the other side! 😇💞🥰 Lou XxX
Favourite Memories

My Granny introduced me to the old black & white films, & I grew to love them as much as she did. We would sit together on the settee when I would stay over, & we would fall in love, over & over again, with Robert Taylor, (hence my tattoo), Clark Gable, Leslie Howard, John Barrymore,Trevor Howard, Michael Denison, & Vivien Leigh, Greer Garson, Maureen O'Hara, & Celia Johnson & Barbara Stanwick - & many more! I still love those films. I always look out for them, & there's a few DVDs of yours I've now got sitting on the shelf! There are a million beautiful memories of you, & this is just one of them...a very special one, thank you for giving me that. I miss you & love you to ribbons, always, your Lou xxx

Another Xmas is upon us, & I miss you most at this time of year. But I have so many memories....smells on Xmas Eve, preparations, carols playing whilst you were busy with Mam. I remember every Xmas; at your house, then our house, & they were always wonderful!
A mixture of loving, magical, & often very funny memories! Pass on my love to the rest of the family too! Love & miss you so very very much, Happy Xmas! Lou & Topsy XxX
