 re: My Gran
Yeah, I love talking to my grandparents about their youth, how they met etc. I try not to let my grandmother talk about all her Boyfriends and all the Men that wanted her, because my grandfather gets really annoyed (mostly becuase she makes out she was so desirable and my grandfather was lucky she choose him!). Plus its a really long story. But also of interest is this book my grandfather put together of my family history, mostly factual, but it goes back to having relatives that were thought to be witches, and relatives that saw the last fairy etc.
My great grandmothers funeral was one of the most interesting occansions, where stories were told, how for eaxample she was the first women to work the milford track, and in queenstown their telephone number was "1" being the first with the telephone there. Really interesting. |
