A stealth combatant and full of energy; mum was one of those individuals who could quietly turn anything into a contest.On the 10-minute walk to my nans she would often force us to skip -- it didnt feel as strange then as it sounds now -- which inevitably turned into a dog-eat-dog contest, a woman and two children frantically speed skipping along a suburban pavement with a blue garden gate as the winning post. God knows what it lked like to people driving past.Our mum was the most positive outgoing person you could ever hope to meet and her generosity of spirit inspired everyone she met.Many of our childhd memories involve my mother and the outdrs, walking out over Hoylake sandbank, swimming in the deep gullies or hunting for fossils on Llandegla Mr in North Wales.Wanting to share her passion for cycling, even well into her 70s, she often tk groups of young novices out on their first forays into North Wales.She leaves behind Keith, her partner for more than half a century, Lisa and I, aand a large, loving family.dddddddddddd We cannot yet conceive a world without her in it.
