Last night we said a special goodnight to a truly remarkable lady - Our Nanny.

Being the second oldest person in Norfolk at 108 years young

we are so very proud of her being the head of our family.

Right up until the very end (this photo was only taken on Thursday), she was still doing her crosswords, eating her 3 meals a day and putting the world to rights

In fact it was only Monday she said “I think I MIGHT have to agree with you, the lack of my mobility now MAY have something to do with my age”

Oh Nanny we are all going to miss you and your thoughtful expressions, quirky anecdotes, unusual use of words and your hilarious birthday cards and gifts. Yes, it was only 4 years ago she made a raffle up for the family’s Christmas presents - some of us got a wrapped up lemon or avocado whilst others got a toilet brush or a £5 note in an outer foil teabag wrapper. You really had us all there Nanny

But most of all we will just miss the loveliness of you

We love you Nanny - goodnight and sweet dreams

We heard the news yesterday, our thoughts are with you and all the family. It was a pleasure to have known Lil, fond memories of her at New Year’s parties 30+ years ago, and more recently at her 108th birthday party, she will be missed. x
