My Granny’s garden

20 June 2014

After lunch with my mum last Wednesday, we made the short journey to my Granny’s house.

Granny has always had a beautiful garden, and looked after it really well. Unfortunately, she’s fallen very ill and can’t get out into her little paradise anymore, so we decided to pick and arrange some of the beautiful flowers in the garden, so that she could still appreciate them inside her home.

I wasn’t sure if I’d done a very good job, having not done much flower arranging before, but the way her face lit up when I brought them in to her told me that I did just fine.

Making an effort for the people you love, especially when they’re suffering, is so important.
