My Rosa went through a phase when eating of getting her food and mixing it into her cup of water to create this wonderful sludge of mush but explained perfectly in her toddler -speak that ‘It’s for Ducks’ which made complete sense, and we allowed her to get on and create!

Nanna and my grand father, Sid Nathan, had recently celebrated their 66th wedding anniversary. They were childhood sweethearts, at 15 he told her “I’m going to marry you one day”.
She also leaves 2 children, 4 grand children and 8 great grand children.

I’d like to do one of these but get the chance to shade it.
