I have just spent the last few days in Melbourne with my grandchildren. DIL went to Gippsland to visit her mother who is in hospital having a rather big operation.
My beautiful granddaughter who is 8, put this basket with its contents on the table next to the bed where I sleep. She has been told over time that when Nanna (me) or Grams (other nanna) comes to stay she must make sure the room is tidy (she often plays in here with her girlfriends to get away from the little brother...) and not to leave anything that we might trip over. Usually she places a glass with some flowers in it from the garden. But this time I got the basket with a couple of mags, some shampoo and soap etc; plus some 'treats' - a couple of packets of sultanas and a container of fruit with spoon. "Just in case Nanna', she said, "I'm sorry but we don't have any flowers".
Isn't that just the best - made my day. I felt very special.
