Nan's funeral was last Friday (19th) and we took the girls along. We knew that it was going to be a strange and sad day but the girls did a wonderful job of entertaining everyone and managed to conduct themselves in a far more grown-up manner than their mother did!
My highlight(if there can be such a thing) was G chattering through the 'quiet reflection' portion of the ceremony ('Great Nan Win' would have been proud of her!) and R making a wonderful grrrrraaaah tiger noise during the vicars' speech as she flicked through her book of animals with Granddad (my Dad)!
They won a whole group of new fans and made sure that no-one could ignore them (as much as they tried to - families eh?) by being very lovely and charming at the wake afterwards. They were (and are) a credit to us all.
