    and what a grandmother! as well as having the gumption to leave her country ahead of the Soviets she's also the one who's responsible for me having colourful fingers.

    That is quite a powerful bit of genetic makeup to be entwined with. Were you able to have many years with your grandmother?

    My own grandmother was responsible for first instilling in me a love of plants. She was German.

    The scars remain painful...in my family I think the scars have kept the words inside.Very poignant memories.
    PS: You made me laugh about the "slow items" in your cupboard! :)
    Have a nice day x
