MY FIRST VISIT TO THE WARBECKS' HOME
Dear blog,
Today I was extremely nervous about going to the Warbeck's home. Sarah is a "rich kid", so she goes to private school. Her mother just has to be the headmistress. I felt very scared. I wonder what it would be like to have your own mother as the headmistress ofyour school. I suppose it would be rather interesting, I guess. At that moment, panic set in.I knew it was something terrible. Behaviour , of course, oh and definitely manners. So I was prepared to be on my best behaviour, and always say "please", and "thank you". I wonder what Sarah thinks. Maybe she does very well in school with the help of her mother. Maybe it might not be such a bad thing after all, all your questions that has to do with school can be answered. Perhaps my attitude towards school would be better.
I felt rather tense, but fortunately, a surprising and very welcoming question popped up. "Perhaps you would like to have supper with us?" This question certainly made me feel more relaxed.I felt so welcomed, maybe Mrs Warbeck was very nice, and it was just my own imagination and impression of what a headmistress should be like. Mrs Warbeck thought I had to ask Eve if I could stay for supper. She said maybe I would like to call her, but I told her that Eve was in the shed. Mrs Warbeck seemed somewhat astonished when she said "In the shed?" Her tone was as if she was trying to tell me that at that hour, respectable mothers were supposed to be cooking for their respectable families while supervising homework. Well, not mine.I felt so undignified, I wish there had been a way to escape that moment.
I looked around, and immediately, I saw something that I recognised - "Town Bridge on a Bright Evening". This was a painting that was done by Eve. I felt so proud and honoured! My friend's mother actually owned a painting which was done by my mother, Eve! This first visit to the Warbeck's home was not so bad after all, it was actually quite enjoyable. I hope I will be able to go again! :)

READING OF GRANDAD'S WILL
 Dear Blog,
I am feeling quite gloomy right now. As you all know, Grandad has passed away, unfortunately. A few days after Grandad's death, the nursing home sent Grandad's will to our house. Mum and Dad then decided to let us hear the will, even though it was 'out of date'. I was feeling a little unhappy when I looked at the will, most probably because the will reminded me of Grandfather and how much I miss him. He remembered my name, though he forgot everyone else's. Grandfather wanted to give Caddy his property in Wales, as they used to go there for summer holidays, and Caddy seemed to love it a lot. Unfortunately, they had to sell the house after Grandfather got ill. Dad was being insensitive by saying that the house was worth nothing. Does he not know anything about sentimental value? Indigo was supposed to get Grandfather's car. Too bad they had to write it off when Grandfather had his first heart attack. Once again, Bill was telling Indigo that the car was an 'absolute wreck', and they could not claim a penny’. For Rose, Grandfather had plans of giving his remaining capital to 'any further grandchildren', born to Eve and Bill after the date of the will, which was, Rose. Sadly, all of Grandfather's money was used on medical bills. I thought I would not get anything, but there was a hand-written note about me that was not part of the will at all. This was what was written: For Saffron, the angel in the garden.
There were three other words, but not very clear. I demanded to know where my stone angel was, Dad was mocking me, saying that it was ‘just a note’, with no witness and it was not legal. I’m really curious to find out more about my stone angel, it must be more than a ‘thought’, it must be real! I must find out more! Maybe I should ask Caddy, she should know something about the stone angel.
Love, Saffy! Labels: Bill, Caddy-property, Eve, grandad's death, grandad's will, grandfather, Indigo-car, Rose-remaining capital, Safy-angel in the garden? 3:05 AM
GRANDAD'S DEATH AND FUNERAL
Dear blog, GRANDAD'S DEAD! :( The nursing home called to informed us that Grandad had died! Bill did not to come back. Can you believe how heartless he is? I can hardly belive that he is my father uncle. He then decided to come home from London, but reluctantly, of course. my only close relative is now GONE. I can never ever see him again. I loved him ever so much. He saved my life! I can not help it but sometimes I feel that, it is because of ME grandad fell ill. If he was still out there, and could here me, I would tell him : Dearest grandad, First of all, I want you to know that I love ever so much and that you are very dear to me. I felt at times that you were my only close relative, and that only you could understand me. Even of we might not have had any form of communication. Those times when cried during your visits , were mainly because I felt sad, sad about the future, when you would not be around anymore. Unfortunately, that day has come very recently. I hope that you are enjoying your after-life, How's heaven? Beautiful I bet. A place where all your worries and distress disappear. Grandad, consider yourself lucky. Yours and forever more, Saffy. ______________________________ I've got to go now, Eve is feeling depressed. Utterly sad, Saffy. Labels: cry, Eve, Grandad, grandad's death, grandfather, love 3:04 AM
ROSE'S FIRST DAY AT SCHOOL
 Rose's "best" painting
Dear blog, Today was Rose's first day at school. She used the 'horrible school wax crayons' to draw a picture of the Banana House. She thinks it is the "best" ever. Rose then drew Eve sitting on the roof of the shed, waving. She drew all of us waving out of the window. Waving to Bill. Rose is so cute sometimes. According to Rose, she took all day to complete her art, including two playtimes, storytime and most of lunch. Unfortunately, it was 'stolen' from her by the teacher, who pretended to be interested in it, and she pinned it high on the wall. Indigo was waiting for Rose at the school gate, and was trying to comfort her. Rose was annoying Indigo. Out of anger, she said that she hated everyone at school, and that she would 'kill' them when she was big enough. She kept insisting that the art work was her best ever, and she did not want to go home. Not until Indigo gave in and decided to help her 'pinch' it off the wall. I guess he felt sad seeing Rose behave that way. It was just her first day at school. After they took down the picture and brought it home, Indigo realised that if the teacher will notice that Rose picture was missing, and would ask her. Indigo then came up with and idea of copying the picture. I did not want to help her. How could I do that? She would never get away with copying the picture! The teachers are smart enough to realise that's it is a fake. Caddy then helped Rose to copy her painting. Honestly, it was quite good. She even made four holes at the corner of the picture to make it look more realistic. Got to go now, Saffy :)

WHY WASN'T MY NAME ON THE COLOUR CHART?
Dear blog, This is my first time posting on this blog that Sarah helped me create. :) There is a colour chart pinned up on the kitchen wall. Mummy Eve and Daddy Bill pinned it up. It has been there since I was eight. To me, they are as familiar to me as nursery rhymes and I always fall asleep to the list of colours. Everytime I look at it I can see Indigo, Rose and Caddy's "colours" almost immediately - But not mine.
Our Family's colour chart. Oh where oh where is my name?
By the way, Indigo is my adventurous little brother, Rose is my new baby sister and Caddy, my neat and organised older sister. Even if I looked over and over again, I cannot find my name on that chart! When I asked my family to help me find it, Caddy was busy painting her hamster's feet, Rose kept screaming. At least Indigo tried to help me, saying that "Saffron's a Yellow ". A health visitor came to our house and kept asking Mum how she keeps her patience. It made me quite annoyed. Everyone was ignoring me even though I kept asking them to help me find my name on the colour chart. I do not know why but when the health visitor asked if I knew about "it", the whole house became quiet. When I questioned Mum and the health visitor, they just said it was nothing. But I am still quite suspicious.
Rose kept sucking on this paint which was apparently Caddy's Yellow Ochre non-toxic paint. At least when the health visitor left, Mum gave Rose a crust of bread and she became quiet again, fortunately.
I asked Mum why my name was not on the chart before bedtime, but she just said that Saffron was a lovely colour and told her that her late sister had named Saffron.
That night, I kept having dreams of sunny place which was quiet and enclosed. There were little pointed trees and I could hear the sound of water. Caddy did not remember it, but she did say it was not her, it was me. This to me is terribly confusing. I mean, why is my name not on the colour chart when all my other siblings are. And why was I the only one whose name was chosen by Mum's sister? This is very strange. I got to go, will post more later.
