My Nan was very special. I lived with her and my parents in her house un
til just before my 10th Birthday.
Nan always made me feel very special. Her life had been very hard. Her m
other was only 15 when she gave birth to her and she never knew who he
r Father was except she was told his name had been Nightingale. Nan neve
r learned to read and write but this never held her back much in life ap
art from having a feeling of shame, and not wanting people to know. Na
n managed her household beautifully was very clean and tidy and her chil
dren always had good clothes and holidays. This was very important to he
r.
