We first met Joyce the day we moved into the Close. Mike pulled up in the van with his friends and she came over offering us drinks and served us coffee and biscuits beautifully presented in a tray. That was Joyce... she did things proper. She was thoughtful, kind and generous and expected nothing in return. When Jess and Mark got married I came home to find a beautiful hanging basket by the front door. Joyce had noticed that ours had seen better days so she replaced it so it would look nice in the video. If you mentioned you were popping to the shop for something nine times out if ten Joyce would produce it as if by magic and tell you not to bother going. This picture has no reference to this memory and I can't remember why she's popped over in her wellies but it made me smile.
