    What Fun we have had! What fabulous memories you have left behind for us to remember you by . Crying , laughing, drinking, Cruising, jumble sales, coffee mornings, knocking on doors for church roof funds ! The village would say O no not those two again 🙄 and are friendship blossom throughout the years.
    Now rest are dear friend ❤️
    I will bring the fig rolls 😋 when we next meet.
