As i have gotten older, my family history has become very important to me.  Perhaps its the scrapbooking that has added to my need for family history and stories, perhaps it's living in a completely different country to most of my family.

My gran is the best, and her life is totally amaizing!  She is such a beautiful person who has the biggest heart ever.  Thursday morning i received a letter from her, one of my all time favourite things.  I have to admit, i have been a little bad with writing letters to her this year.

So when her letter turned up my heart soared!  I knew that my evening would be filled with de-stressing and uni work so i wouldnt have time to give it the attention that it needs.  Each of these experiences is special, the last thing you want to do is rush it.

This morning i woke up, made myself a cup of tea and opened the curtains in the lounge to look out over the morning sunrise.  It's like having my Gran sitting next to me, chatting and sharing everything that is going on in our lives.  One of the hardest things about living in a different country is not being close to her, not being able to pop over for a catch up or share with her all my daily shenanigans.  

Thank you Granny for all that you do for me.  For writing me the loveliest letters. For your words of encouragement. For all the great memories of holidays and fairies. For teaching me about fruit and veg.
