Auntie Mollie
My dear friend and ex neighbour died today.
She had been in hospital since September, after leading an active independent life for 85 years.
She was presented with a long service farm medal last year, a couple of days before this photo was taken at our wedding. She worked on the land for 60 or 70 years, taking her sons in their pram (with a hot brick to keep them warm), whilst she picked potatoes.
She was a character, she once threw a pair of chickens at a Polish builder. She used to phone me with challenges - 'Dear, have you got a single door handle ?' Yes I did, and I went round and fitted it for her.
We went on adventures, soup & a roll, and then visits to garden centres or craft shops. She had a love of ornaments, I have never seen so many creatures in one garden ....
Sleep well Auntie Moll, now at peace.
