Today was a get up and go kind of day. Went to Grampy's house with a picnic lunch. Egg sandwiches, Quavers and a KitKat and looked through some old photo albums. Inside one was some pictures of when my Mum must've been about 2. She was on my Grampy's boat with Grampy and Nanny and I believe it was the day the Queen sailed up our river on a boat.
We went to the flower shop down the road to order our bouquet or whatever they're called. the flowers that go on top of a coffin. We chose red and white, since others had chosen, yellow, purple and blue colours for their ones. I also had to pick up a little card to write Grampy a message on.
I got called a cheeky sod in M&Co. Mum found some jeans she liked that were a size 12. I comment was a simple question of 'When was the last time you bought a size 12?' and I got called names. It was funny though. Dad laughed.
I had found online earlier that the grave Nanny bought was under the name Dunford. And through some research I found out approximately where in the cemetery it would be. And even though it was absolutely pouring with rain, I got Mum and Dad to take me to find it. And no we didn't find it. We just got soaked standing out in the rain.
When I got home I had another quick look online about this grave of Nanny's and found an email address for the organisation who look after the church and cemetery. I sent them a message about what I had found and wondered on a long shot if they had any information. Surprisingly I got an email back within an hour with a more detailed map and exactly the point in the cemetery where they are. How great is that?!
I went to bed chuffed that I knew more about it.
