Remembering Daphne

Rest in peace Daphne Hazel... grandmothership, port in the storm, farmer, golfer, rose grower, baker of best lamingtons in the universe; stubborn soul with awesome eyebrows. I hope she meets Poppy again up there somewhere.

Mum sent me this photo of young Nanny last night. That's baby Mothership on her lap, and Nanny's magpie to her left. She raised it after it fell out of a tree in her garden.

So perfectly sums up the tender but tough bird that was Nanny herself. And love finding out that mum had a magpie sibling before she had a human one! 👶🐧

Not long before Nanny passed away on Friday, a magpie landed on the balcony outside her room and gave her a 20 minute serenade. ✨💗🎶
