No, we managed to sort that one out.

Yeah, it's my mum's favourite. She's had it framed and it's up on the wall in her living room. She was starting to think she might never see her daughter in a wedding dress, so it's got pride of place above the telly.Lucy doesn't like it though.
Why not?
She says you can see all her wrinkles. She's a bit sensitive about her age.
Oh dear. So, anyway, do you think there'll be a photo of you above your mum's telly one day? Little brother in a wedding suit?
Don't you start!

Have you invited them round yet?
Well, no, I haven't had a chance. You see, they've asked me to go to their house on two occasions already - and one of those was for lunch.
That's very sociable of them.

INFLUENCES
Which person has had a big influence on you'?

'Cheer up, chicken!'
Thats what my grandmother, my Nana, says me when things are'nt going well. Then she tells me, 'it'll turn out all right at the end, you'll see.' And she's nearly always right.
So when I'm ill, or I've fell out wilh a friend or I'm just feeling down, I imagine Nana, wilh her wrinkled, but smiling face and sparkling blue eyes, saying her words of encouragemenl to me. And althoueh my problems they don't just magically disappear', they don't seem so bad any more and I'm in better mood lo sort them out.
Nana has taught me to be positive in difficult moments. She's had many of them in her long and hard life. But despite this, she has a straight back and a determined look on her face. Always she is cheerful and I've never seen her in a bad temper.
So even though she's nearly half my size and such small that she sometimes wears children's clothes, she's the person I most look up at in my family. She's a little lady with a big influence.
