the last of little nanny’s siblings has died after an illness in hospital. we knew her as wah ha phyllis, because of her huge, all encompassing laugh. She had a great sense of humour and could see the silly side of things very easily. life was tough, she fell pregnant during the war and was encouraged to marry the father, who perhaps wasnt the best person to be married too. after their only child tony died, she faced the social disapproval of divorce and then had a gentleman friend. but i remember her for her laughter and generosity of spirit, and her great knitting.
so above, are all the siblings bar reggie, left to right, arthur, ethel [little nanny], barbara [harry's wife] , hilda, harry, peggy, phyllis, then dad and mum.
the last of an era for us has passed.
