Getting slightly sidetracked - Lucy likes to sit and look out of the lounge window - this is her favourite place. She gets lots of admiring glances as people walk past. When she sees my mum walking up the garden path to the house, she just scarpers! Somehow she would let Gigi know that Nanny was coming and you could almost see Gigi gulping hard before running off and hiding in the cupboard. Probably something to do with that fact the my dear mum always walkw in the house and screaches at the top of her voice "where are my beautiful grand-daughters? - Gigi, Lulu - Nanny's here - come and give Nanny kisses"!!!! Gulp.....enough to scare anyone I would have thought. And she always asks me "why are my girls outside or in a cupboard somewhere whenever I arrive, I never get a kiss and a cuddle?" And I say "well, you know what cats are like Mum, busy social life and all that..."

On the night that Gigi died my mum was with us. After Gigi had the first injection to relax her, my Mum, through her sobs said to Gigi "well, I suppose now's my final chance to get that kiss and cuddle that I've been trying to get for 8 years". And then she took it.
