My Gran was widowed before I was born and my father, mother and I, plus my baby brother lived with her in her council house.She and her husband had managed the local Co-op store until he was injured and they were homeless as they lived above the store.Re: My Gran and your Gran
My fathers mother was a wonderful woman, a terrific cook and a great money manager. She was never short of a story to tell by the fireside on a Winters night. There are so many memories of her it’s hard to select a favourite one.Re: My Gran and your Gran
My maternal gran was widowed in her early 40's and was left with three younger children and two married children. My grandfather died at the age of 46 due to stomach cancer. My mum had many miscarraiges and he died when my mum was just told she was pregnant with me and she never got the chance to tell him. I can't even imagine what that would have been like for my gran to be left on her own. So difficult. I used to pop down to her house for home made soup and she always had Blue Riband biscuits . She lived with us in latter years as she had a heart condition. She and I shared a bedroom. We used to lie and chat until we fell asleep.Re: My Gran and your Gran
My Gran (paternal grandmother) was a rebel (I take after her). Firstly as a child she worked in the Bryant and May match factory. There was a trade dispute and Gran (all 4'.9" of her) was stood on the picket line laying about this Policeman (over 6'.0") with her rolled umbrella.
