She was always so kind to me and my brothers.
My Great Aunt was always a second Granny to us.
After all the happy years she will be sorely missed.
Better by far we all remember and smile, than to be sad and forget.
Goodbye and rest now Auntie Millie...
Thomas and the boys.

I heard some kids talking on the radio about how terrible their school meals are. Reminded me that when I was at Jr Skool I was able to go home for lunch, or dinner as we called it then. We lived near enough for me to get home and my mum would have made something for me to eat. There were some things which she made which I have never tasted better, for example dumplings, rissoles and scones. I was rare in being able to go home. I usually had a meal and a pudding then had enough time to get back to school. My dad would also go home and he also had half an hour to have dinner (1.45 - 2.15) then cycled back to work. We would have pies, mince, sausages and other things. I think my mum learnt to cook before and during the war when she presumably cooked for her widowed father and later my Dad as well. She would have done this having been out to work in the morning. I have inherited envelopes full of recipe cuttings from pre-war newspapers and women´s magazines and cookery books (no Jamie Oliver then - McDougall´s Cookery Book, Atora book of tested recipes, we had lots of suety puddings, I think there as `Stork´ book as well, a Torox cube recipe book (What´s a Totorox cube?) The nearest we got to a takeaway was fish and chips which my dad would cycle to Old Woking to pick up and mum would prepare bread and butter, tea etc, this usually when we´d been out to the seaside for the day.
