To Auntie Audrey; whenever I think of Auntie Audrey I remember laughter and a sense of mischievous fun. As children, whenever we visited on family holidays, there seemed to be intriguing toys and games to play with, the like of which we had never seen...and on reflection and knowing Audrey’s thriftiness some of those toys were probably pre-war, but what fun we had!! As I grew up, and knowing Audrey as an adult myself, she was a woman ahead of her time as I remember her stories of charity shop bargains and what we would now call wild water swimming....all considered very trendy these days! On top of all this Audrey also had a great wisdom and seemed to be able to instil a sense of calm in times of stress, a skill indeed. I will miss Audrey’s presence in life but aspire to be more “Audrey”.......I think I’m going to have fun! In fond memory of an inspiring woman, free spirit and much loved auntie, love from Adele. xx
