Grania

This is TaTa's friend Grania (fair of hair) with her hairdresser Roberta. Grania is a Gaelic name meaning Love or Grace. The name has inspired books (Grania;She-King of the Irish Seas by Morgan Llywelwyn) and Diarmuid and Grania by William Butler Yeats (TaTa's favorite poet) and George Moore with music by Elgar. There is an historical figure named Grania Uaile which is worth googling.
