I was about ten years old when my Great Granny Flewers died aged 100. I can remember being amazed that, although she was blind, she ciould go into the scullery and make a pot of tea. She also managed to get to the pub each day for her half of stout, and that is how she lost her sight - she was celebrating the birth of two great Grandchildren and everyone in the pub bought her a drink. She went home and fell face first into the coal fire, how she survived I'll never know, but she did and remained fiercely independant.

I hope I have her 'get up and go' if I live as long.

Hi all,

really dumb one coming !!!
What does all this mean ? It is relating to my GGrandfather and his time in Navy, but, other than the obvious personal stuff, its all gobbledy gook to me 
Help

Thanks anyway
One of those rainyday/nothing better to do jobs.

The sad thing is that when she died they found a tin box with letters from her birth mother and decided to bury it with her!!!!

Exhumation!
