One if my Grans was lovely ( the other...not so)
The lovely one always wore a pinny, it sort of wrapped around. I dare say she didn't always wear it, but it seemed so.
She made plain buns but nothing else in the baking dept and wasn't a good cook.I liked hugging her ( so I did) but she herself was not a natural hugger or kisser. she never wore perfume, or wore make up( I was glad of that, as my Mother, who was a big hugger and kisser wore red lipstick and I hated a lipsticky kiss.)
Grandad sat in a wooden rocking chair and often nodded off. He was lovely too, and had silver hair and very good white teeth ( I didn't know they were false) and had an odour of pipe tobacco about him, which I loved.
They lived in a very old and very basic cottage ( the kind that cost a small fortune now) had a very simple life and hardly any money.I still miss them.
