In my clean out the other day I had to figure out what to do with these beauties: potential rubbish bin material?
Well, I could not do it:
Heres why ..
These are macro shots of my Nans recipes. Even though they are old and largely illegible … they are my Nans essence <3 In this shot I can ‘see’ her love and beauty; her patience with us; her creativity and her wisdom. I miss her. And these little pieces of paper made my mindfulness-ness sort of teary, but happy.
I am privileged to have had a Nan in my life, right up until I was in my 30s. Not to many people can say that. My children had a Great-Nan but she departed this world before her great great grandchildren were born.
Memories come with all sorts of things … bits of paper; handwritten scribbles; recipes; smells; words … flavours.
I love my Nan for everything she gave Us girls. She was / is the epitome of strength and resilience.
Today the shout out mindfulness spot goes to my Nan.

Mine did the same those recipes and notes were more treasured than gold to her
Ahhh yes … its a shame we can’t read this one properly, but we still have a few her old recipes. Mind due this was the generation that just added a ‘dash of this and that’ and it came out perfect every time :)
Your blog hit me right in the heart, share the memories.
Thank you <3
Awww…yes I miss my Nan too. Keep all you can of her and pass it on to your kids.
