Both mum and Nanna loved to take photos, usually duplicates of each other’s 🤣
Xmas day...we tried to get through this day...this was the day after my grandad passed away on my 21st bday/Xmas eve. Hence the red eyes. But we all made the most of the day and chatted about fond memories of grandad.
Give it some welly! Nanna loved a game of bowling...Boxing Day fun!
Always having a laugh with the fam- bowling times.
Having a good laugh again at bowling,
Nanna loved a celebration, especially if food was involved and a desert was the main event!
Nanna’s Holiday pic with my dad and grandad. Check my grandads face 🙌🏼🙌🏼🤣
One of our family holidays. A boozy affair this one...unlimited drinks from memory after a ride through the bushes on donkeys to get to this bbq. My dad was so drunk he even got in the pool- he can’t swim! Nanna had a fair few drinks here too!
