It was a real family day when we went to visit my grandmother and my mother, my daughters and grandchildren all came too. It was the first time Nanna had her great-great-grandchildren all together and we had lots of photos taken, with a few of the five generations of women in the family.
Before going to Cooinda Court where Nanna is, we went to the Licorice Factory in Junee and had lunch. Daniel , Lauren and Zeke, Emily and Scarlett, and Alex and me. It's a fantastic place, they make licorice and chocolate, and used to be an old flour mill until it was gutted by fire way back when. It's been kept to the original exposed beam style, with old wooden tables and chairs and lots of old memorabilia and it was a bonus for us, because there were 3 young guys jamming with guitars and keeping the visitors entertained.
We left there after lunch and met my mother at the hostel, and went to a lovely "quiet room" where we spent a couple of hours with Nanna and took lots of photos. Zeke was a hit with all the residents when he kept calling each of them "Nanna". He'd say, "Look, there's another nanna."
