Beryl, you were the best neighbour. Every birthday 🎂 cake was delivered to the door. Even the next generation knew that every birthday a bit went right next door to you as you loved cakes - you even enduring my baking phase well 🤣. The italic writing on the back of the envelopes at birthdays and christmas always got us excited to see what kind of card you'd found for us this year (and when we were little the 3 £1 coins taped inside). Your artwork was world class and inspiring to a young person who also liked crafting. Your craft room an Aladdin's cave of wonder and every thread colour under the sun. It never bothered you when the doorbell rang and a request came in for a certain colour thread, or did you have some felt etc etc. Any excuse to get to see what you were creating and to see inside those cupboards at all the wonders they held. It really is the end of an era. You will remembered fondly. Xx
