I knew when we left Britain to start our trip that it was
unlikely that my Gran, who was 105, would still be alive when we returned at
the end of the year, her health had been deteriorating over the months leading
up to our leaving.
I say ‘unlikely’ because
in December 2011 the consultants at New Cross Hospital gave her 2 weeks to live
and advised we find her somewhere for TLC and end of life care.
She was a lovely lady, very independent with a dry sense of
humour. When asked by a reporter from the Express and Star newspaper in
Wolverhampton what her secret for living to such a great age was she
replied………. “I just keep on breathing”.

Three cheers for a great old lady.
