Trip to Manly
Today we took a trip to Manly to visit my grandparents. My sister came with us, and we met up with Naomi to go for a trip on the ferry and grab some lunch.
The weather wasn’t all that wonderful, but was still a nice day..and the kids had fun.
Most importantly, I did what I had wanted to go for.
This park is where we scattered my grandparents ashes 
My Nan asked to have her ashes placed here. It was a favourite place of hers, with the bird aviary over looking the garden. The garden used to be planted with lots of colour and beautiful flowers.
After she passed away, we had council install the park bench you can see, and on it we placed a plaque.
When my Pop passed away some years later, he too asked for his ashes to be placed with hers so they could be together.
It’s really hard to believe it has been nearly 20yrs. I remember spending weekends and holidays at the house like it was yesterday. I really wish they could have met my children.

its a lovely tribute that you got to spread their ashes as they wanted it done.
[...]  Leigh, birth mother of the All Women Blogging Carnival, hangs out over at All for Women and at Crazy Meezer. From All for Women, she throws us Who on earth cares(it’s easy to check Leigh, we’ll just look to see who has added their name to the list, he he). From Crazy Meezer, Leigh gives us a moving tribute to her grandparents in Our trip to Manly. [...]
I remember that, too. I think we have a few photos of that day, you and me and Lauren all sitting on a bench (not Nanny’s bench – another one).
Your kids are gorgeous! Congratulations on all!
