Mary Isabella Peatfield 1884-1956
She was effectively my only surviving Granny. She lived about ten minutes walk from us; she lived with her lodger Teddy Clarkson ('Mr C') in a large end-of-terrace house. They were both warm and loving people. There were crocuses in the front garden. She kept our Snakes-and-Ladders game and our Tiddlywinks in the built-in cupboard in their living room. Her kitchen was very spartan, with a shallow stoneware sink; it smelled wonderfully of apples. She showed me how to make scrambled eggs. She died of breast cancer when I was seven. She was the archetypal Granny of that period, indulgent and loving, her hair in a bun.
