Tim is also very privileged to be able to get away with implying his Mother-In-Law is a gorilla! As a joke one year when the family was making a personalized photo calendar, he put a picture of a gorilla on the date of her birthday, this led to pictures and cuddly toys of gorillas being sent to Mum where she sent pictures of monkeys gesturing. What he thinks means she’s happy having two Son-In-Laws!!

Every year, we would go on a self-catering holiday to the seaside. The car would be packed full with us 3 kids all having to sit on bedding and what seemed like half of our house packed around our feet. We would get up in the early hours of the morning to leave, we think so they would have a peaceful journey as we would be tired and fall asleep. DIDN’T WORK!!
Linda’s husband, Tim, remembers how whilst going on holiday with Mum, one of the windshield wipers broke during a rainstorm and out went Mum with cellotape and started to try and fix it. She was very good mending things with cellotape and reckons Linda is carrying on the tradition!

During World War 2, Nannie and Grampy took in a lodger, Kay Tanner, who had been transferred from Farnham, Surrey to work as a cook in the kitchens at Morris’s car factory. She continued to be a close family friend, affectionately known as Auntie Kay until sadly, she passed away in 1993.
There was the time when we went on one of our infamous picnics. We had gone on a day trip to the Malvern Hills with Auntie Kay. When it was time to eat, Mum started putting out the food on the blanket we had set up on the slope of the hills, when opened the containers holding the tomatoes, she dropped it and the tomatoes went rolling down the hill with us running down, in fits of laughter, trying to catch them!
