I’m afraid to say I got some more sad news today: my yaiya (mum’s mum) passed away this morning at the age of 95. She was becoming increasingly frail, but it’s still quite a blow for the family. Yaiya had such a strong spirit and keen sense of humour, but most of all I’ll remember the delicious cypriot food she cooked for the whole family, as we all sat round the kitchen table at the old family house up in Harlesden.
Goodbye Yaiya – we’ll miss you.
