WESBURN great-great-grandmother Dorothy Rodriquez is doubly smitten.
“They’re just beautiful,” she said of her twin great-great-grandaughters Saskia Rose and Olympia Margaret.
“They’re just like two little dolls.”
The girls are her great-grandson Kristian van Maanen and partner Jessica’s daughters, born at the Women’s Hospital on 6 February this year.
A visit to Wesburn recently provided the opportunity for a family portrait of five generations of the Rodriquez family.
Does being matriach of a five-generation family make Mrs Rodriquez feel old?
“Well, I suppose at 93 I am old … but I’m lucky to be here to see all my grand-children, great grandchildren and beautiful great-great grandchildren,” Mrs Rodriquez said.
And, how lucky are they to have such a doting nanna.
