Where are we now?
A question so often asked. It was hard to surprise Mom, even taking unfamiliar routes didn't fool her for long, she would suddenly announce "Oh, I know where we are now".
My fondest memories will be our holidays in Spain. Going to buy sandals for her poor swollen feet and me practicing my Spanish. She couldn't speak the language but she could understand it, as she had helped me on many occasions when I was doing my O Level studies a few years ago. She even got the waiters to help us with pronunciations. Her winning smile soon won them over! We we went, Mom John and I, to Almeria when we returned the following year, without her because she was in Greece with Linds, the waiters were quick to ask "Where's Mama?"
She was young at heart, a joy and a laugh to be with and even tried her hand at match making, but that's another story!
