Afternoons with Grandpa

Grandpa was a very special part of my life. 

In those final years after I moved back from England we had some lovely afternoon teas together.

Sometimes I would even supply treats I baked at home.

The Bravos would sometimes join us from across the world.

Until one day they joined us in real life, or as Addy says, "for real life."

Addy was so happy to meet her Grandpa George. When Grandpa met his great-granddaughter he said, "I made it."

We were also joined by my cousin Matt and his partner, Annabel.

According to Addy there were spiders everywhere. I guess she'd heard about Australian creepy crawlies.

But then spider-girl was there to save the day.

Here are four generations together.

There were some lovely photos captured that day.

And some silly ones...

some very silly ones.

You might've noticed us wearing these silver party hats in a few of the photos. 

That's because we loved turning our afternoon teas into celebrations for special occasions. The final special occasion we celebrated was Mum's birthday last year.

Sadly, Grandpa passed away in July last year, but I'll keep holding onto our precious memories. Especially those of our afternoon teas together.
