A tribute to Granny and Grampa Station



Memories
  • Granny's Sunday "Roast Chicken" lunch with junket for dessert
  • Appletizer in Noordhoek
  • granda fetching us from Midway and walking us to the flat
  • holidays at The Birkenhead Hotel (very special!)
  • their Rondebosch flat
  • the "cutlet" and anenome shells that Grandpa collected
  • going to Muizenberg on the train with Gramps, then walking along the beach at a mighty pace
  • walking along the coast at Hermanus
  • Granny's hair net
  • cycling to their flat through the Rondebosch fields
  • Granspa's hankis
  • washing our hands before lunch
  • granny's jewellery box and ivory comb set
  • grandpa listening to share prices on the radio
  • their antique furniture
  • gramps cluttered garage and his tools
  • grampa's old mercedes
  • grandpas love of "Jock and the Bushveld"
  • the gold clock they gave me as a gift
  • lunch at the Mount Nelson
  • Grandpa's insatiable appetite (so that is where I got it!)
  • Granny's singing with a trembling lilt
  • their statue of the horse and boy (I still have it)
  • appletizer on Muizenberg
  • visiting us every Sunday with chocolate logs
  • grandpa's binoculars
  • grandpa's hat and kaki shorts
  • pushing grandpa in his wheel chair when he got poorly and how he started opening up in his last few years
