When I was born, she named herself again, rather than great auntie Lalla she wanted to be known as “Grauntie.” She was truly an original, someone who provided a connection with an old-fashioned time who also lived a surprisingly modern life in terms of her independence, adventure, and achievements.Īuntie Lalla was born in 1925 which was just a few years after women were allowed to vote in General Elections, and she witnessed many changes in her life. She remained Lalla to her family and childhood friends but was Alice to everyone else. As a small child just learning to talk Alice struggled to pronounce her own name, she could however say “Lalla” and, with the single mindedness she showed throughout her life, she then responded only to Lalla.
