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!  

Mom loved to get in my car which we called Rosie after her. She loved to play Tom Tom she would navigate me to where we were going. Mom had a brilliant memory for journies I miss her company so much. We would laugh and sing all the time and tease each other. She was my best friend. She often got words wrong sometimes we would laugh about it and other times we would ignore. She used to say "you can never do too much for a good one" and she was so right.
