Granny Hamilton- Memoradum


Granny Hamilton


This month marks the 20th aniversary since Granny Hamilton left us.. I commented on this earlier in the month. Many happy memories of a child hood... every sunday- Murray mints, smarties and cremola foam.... a relict of a child hood in the late 70s and during the 1980's.
Much happiness and Great memories.

This even continued to the funeral, when my dad (Gran, was my Dad's mum) - made me take a driving lesson behind the hearse, as I was learning. He said, as good a time as any... lol


Photo above. Granny 2nd from right. This photo around the 1940s.

Below the Dutch Clan- Margaret with Isa and my Gran. and the kids Gwen, Barbara and Hans Jnr. I assume Hans Snr was taking the photo... This in the back garden at 25 Kerse Terrace, Rankinston, Ayrshire. Photo around 1980/81

As of 2011, the same house has been in the Hamilton name for over 70 years. My Aunt Isa ives here still... Remarkable.


This photo below was on her 80th in 1987




In Memoradum. Margaret Hamilton 1907-1991

Its not an uncommon fact that the weather recently has been very poor, a mixture of rain, hail, snow, gale force winds and everything else being chucked at my part of the world. .. so it was a very pleasant change to wake to nice sunny weather - and I thought Im grabbing my bike and going a run for what seems like the first time in weeks. - on a Day Off. Done the usual route home-Kilmarnock, join the cycle path to Irvine, then down to Ayr via Troon. Then back up the B743 to Mauchline. 44 Miles and a very good cycle.  Planning more on Sat, Hopefully a 60 Miler. - Weather looks ok..
