"Memory" 1st April 2020

Dearest Jackie, my farm mum, my friend. I could write a book with the memories I have and how lucky I feel to have them. It was our horses that brought us together many years ago and the bond that they had together reflected the friendship that was ours. Caring, loyal and quirky :) Coffee morning memories at the yard will always make me smile, we would all have our big robust mugs and there would be Jackie with her bone china mug that was neatly packed away in her plastic tub, she would get out her coffee sachet and sweetners and stand and shake it with her big smile on her face. Often she would walk up from the field covered in mud and have to wipe her glasses and say 'Graphic Thomas you are a naughty boy' although Graphic would also often get called Gareth or George too which we always used to laugh about. There are many memories I could write down, but her genuine thoughtfulness towards my family will always hold a very special place within us. Ann Naylor
