What memory makes you smile? I saw this question was on the label of a bottle of fizzy water.

I remember smiling when I realised, on my very last day at school, that I would never have to play hockey again.smile
I can also remember the many times when my DCs said and did things that made me smile.

An old photo (Dec 2023) that flashed up earlier on my iPad, as they do. Two rather younger Gdds, then 8 and 3, very happily showing two bun tins of mince pies ready for the oven - they’d put in the mincemeat and the pastry stars on top.

Hockey was probably the only thing I missed. 😂

A memory that came up on Facebook the other day was pictures of my husband taken on a day I got him for his birthday 15 years ago. It was to spend the day with birds of prey, handling them and flying them. He looked so happy.

An odd but very poignant memory that makes me smile is being in a M & S Cafe, mum, me, DD and GS. The ladies at the next table said how jolly our four generations looked, and how lucky we were to be out and about together.

(Mum went into our local hospice the next week, for her last 11 days 😿)
