#76: Happy 75th Birthday, Grammy!

My earliest memory of my Grandma, is being about 3 years old, and wanting to help out around the house. I used to help with the dusting, but on one occasion, I came to the conclusion that the house needed a little touch of Sim added to it. I decided that it would be a good idea to move her very heavy couch, that was neatly tucked away, in front of the window. I moved it into the middle of the front room, and after my Grandma had returned from the kitchen, she thought my 15 year old brother had done it. It was from that day onwards that I was known as the gladiator in the Lloyd family, and that I would grow up to become an athlete, working with the lights of Hunter, Jet, and Wolf! How times have changed...

Some of my fondest memories with my Grandma, are at her bungalow. Sitting in her rocking chair, after a bath, singing in the kitchen, whilst drying up plates, playing the grand piano, in her bedroom, and taking trips to The Disney Store, to spend my pocket money. Another favourite memory of mine was sitting around the front room, with her, my mum, my brother, and my uncle Mark, exchanging ghost stories. I used to love being spooked! It was far too much fun!

Here is a picture of me and my Grandma, in the Summer of 2010, in Bath. This was before she became unwell, having to have a multiple operations. As far as I am aware, she is mostly back to her old self, and I can't wait to celebrate her 75 years with her, on Easter Sunday!

Happy 75 years, Grandma!
I love you! x x x
