What an amazing lady Ethel was. She welcomed us into her’s and Leo’s home when we flew in for 2005 Lions tour. Leo organised tickets, places to stay and they both gave us loads of expert knowledge as we toured North Island taking in the matches as we went. One very important gem was don’t forget to put the plug in the bath/sink when you get to Rotorua! We even managed to meet Nikki in the Youth Hostel in Wellington! We next met up through the years at Ray & Sue’s daughters wonderful weddings which was a great time to share a drink and catch up. She so loved and was proud of all her grand and great grand children. She was a wonderful homely wife, mother and Nanna Be at rest Ethel ❤️

Our dear Scottish Nana Clegg. What a wonderful nana you were to us grandkids! Unfortunately I couldn’t make it home from London to celebrate your incredible life, but I’m there in spirit with you, grandad and the family. I have the most amazing memories about you and would like to share a few favourites. You were always Knitting - you taught us kids to knit, but what I especially loved about your knitting is the woollen slippers you’d knit every winter for us. We’d wear them continuously as they were an essential part of our winter wardrobe, eventually we’d wear holes in them🤣 I loved Christmas Day at Nana and grandads in Opunake because we would have usually got new skates or skateboards or bikes, and we could skate around the smooth streets in town all day long! We couldn’t do this at home on the farm, so we loved it! Sam and I would mow the lawns for Nana and grandad to earn pocket money! How many times did we go to their farm up Arawhata or Ihaia and pick up rocks! Omg. The worst job ever 🤣 During one of their 12? Trips to the UK, Sam and I had not long moved to London (22 years ago😳). Nana and Grandad took us on a tour of Buckingham Palace. We would also meet them in Holborn and the nearby pubs of course! Nana also came to my rescue after I broke a tooth eating a piece of toasted Vogels! I was quite broke, so Nana leant me £££’s so I could go to the dentist and get my tooth fixed! Thanks Nana!! My last memory of Nana is when I came home 12 months ago to visit from London with Missy and Archie. On this particular day, Nana was on such fine form at the rest home telling me some great stories and having a laugh. It was a special afternoon. Thank you Nana for being the best Nana a grandkid could ask for! May you rest in peace now xxxx

We’d wear them continuously as they were an essential part of our winter wardrobe, eventually we’d wear holes in them🤣 Summer holidays staying with N&G - I have vivid memories of Nana driving us up and down the Opunake beach hill to the beach and playground, numerous times a day, which would always end with Nana giving us 50cents each for an ice cream at the dairy! I loved Christmas Day at Nana and grandads in Opunake because we would have usually got new skates or skateboards or bikes, and we could skate around the smooth streets in town all day long! We couldn’t do this at home on the farm, so we loved it! Sam and I would mow the lawns for Nana and grandad to earn our pocket money! We would always go to Nana’s before and after school for snacks in between sports practices and swimming training, or during our surf club patrolling days! Often Nana would serve up her infamous scones, and other amazing baking. Nana was the most incredible cook! She’d always be finding her purse and giving us more coins for more ice creams. How many times did we go to their farm up Arawhata or Ihaia and pick up rocks! Omg. The worst job ever 🤣 Nana loved her ladies bowls. During one of their 12?
