From the get go, this tale of childhood and grandfatherhood absorbed me completely. Thank you for this joyful warmth with its flavour of peas and home brew.
such a lovely wander alongside you and Grandad. I had a Grandad just like yours. And Nana's net curtains on the skinny wire cord that never drew back unless you yanked them. It really was an experience of a bygone generation. I loved reading your memories and observations of how it all was to your eight year old's view of the world. So reminiscent of my own, and others of our generation. Wonderfully expressed and shared - thank you. And, yes, I too would like answers to the questions I have today, of their lives, their struggles, their joys....
This is beautiful! Your writing is so vivid and not only did it feel like I was there in the garden with you, but lots of my own happy memories of time with my grandparents resurfaced ad well. Thank you x

You’re welcome. My grandad’s homebrew was the best.
Such a beautiful memory, thank you for sharing 🩵
