There is a biography of her that I once read - it is lovely. But sad at the end.

The memories have brought a smile to my face, thank you for the reminder of a lovely lady and a great entertainer.

When my Bengal cat, Saffron, gets under the bedclothes and moves around, I call her Lumpy Latimer. After trying to change my sheets around her this morning, I decided to re-aquaint myself with some of Joyce Grenfell's sketches. They are absolutely timeless and had me smiling.
Do you think any of the current comedians will be remembered for so many years, and with so much affection? If so, which ones? I find them all a bit 'samey'.
Victoria Wood is not really current, but she amuses me in the same way that Joyce did.
