Due to my laziness, I haven’t posted since Grandad’s 100th party.

Now I am once again posting about Grandad, but this time it’s not so joyful.

Grandad passed away last week.

I’ve been extremely fortunate that I got to meet all bar one of my great grandparents. And apart from one of those who died when I was young, I’ve got to know all of them very well too. Many people don’t get to know their grandparents that well, let alone their great-grandparents!

All my great grandparents have all been awesome in their way, and Grandad was no exception.

I’ve spent many an afternoon visiting with Grandad.

When I was younger we built Duplo towers to reach the ceiling (which I still remember was awesome) and I spent more time in Grandad’s garden than I have in my own.

But most of the memories are just chatting with him. Or more often, just listening to the tales he had collected over his lifetime. He had so many funny stories and loved sharing them.

I’m so glad that the family had a chance to celebrate Grandad’s 100th and that he was well enough to enjoy it.

You’ll be missed Grandad, but you’ll never be forgotten...
