[Remembered by her grandson Geoffrey Colin Budd, August 2005] "My Grandmother was a very caring person. When I was young and often visited her and Grandpa at" Westaway", Ravensden, Bedfordshire, she always welcomed us with tea and homemade cakes and pies. At Christmas she cooked a huge turkey and even during WWII, she seemed to be able to get wonderful food in spite of the rationing. One of her specialities was Christmas cake with icing which always had some decorations in bright red. It never ceased to amaze everyone they way she got such a bright color. It was explained to me that she used cochineal as the coloring agent in the icing. Cochineal was often used before modern synthetic food colorings became available. It is extracted from the cochineal insect which grows as a parasite on the prickly pear cactus. In S. American countries it is still used as a die for textiles. Every morning when I stayed with her, my Grandmother woke me up with a hot cup of tea and biscuits (cookies) in bed. All her guests were treated similarly. During her life she worked very hard to make a comfortable home. Very occasionally she visited other relatives and sometimes went to see a movie. It became a sort of joke that when she went to a movie, she never could remember what the movie was about. This is because no sooner had she settled into the comfortable seat at the theater, than she went right off to sleep and never woke up until the movie was over. I think that she was so tired from her housework that she simply relaxed and slept from exhaustion. Because she loved to bake cakes, when she was alone with my grandfather, there were often new cakes to be eaten before the last one was finished. Both of them loved to feed old cake crumbs to the birds, and they had a large sash window in the living room with a shelf outside onto which they placed the the cake crumbs. The birds became so tame that if the window was left open, sometimes the birds came right into the house to be fed. For many years they had a large parrot in a cage who talked and mimiced sounds. Every morning he would make the sound of the alarm clock at the same moment that the clock sounded. Once, the clock broke, but it was several days before they realised that the clock had stopped, because the parrot made the alarm sound at just the right time each morning. They had the parrot for almost 50 years, but one day to everyones surprise, he laid an egg! The next day another egg appeared in the cage and later that day the parrot died. He/she was buried with the two eggs. I investigated this phenomenon and read that birds sometimes have a combined ovary and testis. Occasionally a male bird at the end of its life loses the function of the testis and exhibits female characteristics, which can include the laying of eggs. Near the end of her life, my Grandmother developed pneumonia and dearly wanted to come home from the hospital to be cared for in familiar surroundings. Neither my grandfather, nor my father would accept this, and she died in hospital instead of in the comfort of her own home. Such a sad ending." SOURCE: Geoffrey Colin Budd Oct 2005
