11. We had lots of pancake eating contests with our friends at her big kitchen table.

10. After being out playing with friends we were treated to homemade cookies and milk.

9. She made everything from scratch and it was made with love.

8. Another staple was the tin with the tea biscuits.

7. Scones were found in their special tin in one certain cupboard.

6. Chocolate and maple homemade fudge was a real treat.

5. I remember slicing the homemade bread, toasting it and eating it with butter. There is no better taste in the world.

4. Homemade bread was a smell I will never forget.

3. Smells of baking were always wafting through the house.

2. I spent the first 3 years of my life living at her wonderful house.

1. I remember her always wearing dresses, especially blue.
