  Notes	Natalie's Memories of Nanny: I used to drink tea with her, I remember sitting at the coffee table in the living room while she rocked in her rocking chair. She would have black tea in a china cup and saucer and she would pour a little bit of tea in the saucer to cool to let me drink from it. I shared a room with her for a while when I was a child. I slept in her double bed with her. I remember almost falling out of bed one night while sleeping and she caught me by my pajamas and hauled me back up on the bed. She loved Bingo and would go often. I remember she would wear her fur coat to the Star Hall for Bingo. Sometimes we would go pick her up after and sometimes I would be in bed when she got home. I always knew she was home because I could smell the cigarette smoke from her coat. She didn't smoke, but the other Bingo players did.
