  • Nannan Betty
    • she had the most beautiful soft skin, especially on her neck
    • she was constantly making cups of tea for people, hence my brother nicknaming her Betty Tea Bags when he was tiny
    • her phone voice. She had a broad Yorkshire accent but when she answered the phone this posh voice came out of nowhere
    • her almost psychadelic floral dresses made from that shiny silky fabric
    • she was obsessed with knowing where her purse was at all times and either myself or my brother would have to carry it up to bed just before she retired for the night
    • she used to call my brother a little jessie if he cried, which used to make me giggle because I thought it was a girls name
