NANA Pauline wasn’t just any nan—she was the original straight-talker who always saw right through my Manchester antics (especially when I’d had one too many!). She’d give me that look, pretend I wasn’t acting like the wildest one in the room all the way from South London, but secretly, she knew exactly what was going on—never a “divvy old woman,” always switched on and up for a laugh. She let me be myself, strong language and all (even if she’d gently tell me off for it—sorry, Pauline!), and she always made me feel at home.
I’ll really miss our little chats having a giggle about everyone and her telling me off (in her loving way) when I got a bit too loud. She was an absolute star—amazingly loving and always made sure I knew I was welcome. Rest in paradise peace Nana say hello to my Daddy too 🙏🏽🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
