"My grandmother used to say that if I didn’t go to bed then Myra would get me. Myra being Myra Hindley.
No nonsense nan! "
I didn’t cry when she died. Saying that she was so old she remembered when she was a kid there were no cars and always swore that they’d ‘never catch on’.  |

Wee cup'a'tea?
Auch ye will.
Just a wee bite to it.
*rolls out trolley laden with toasted muffins, sandwiches, biscuits, buns, buttered barnbrack and fruit cake.*
Have another, sure it'll go to waste. |

Every story involved ‘a contretemps’ and was vastly over exaggerated (I may or may not have inherited that trait).
She’d say ‘oh what a gay day’ and she knew EXACTLY why everyone smiled and did it on purpose.
She’d say ‘sexy rexy!’ at sexy things.
God she was epic fun. Bloody miss my Grandma  |

Oh! And wear your nice perfume today, because you might get hit by a bus tomorrow. Which is fucking dark, but makes perfect ‘carpe diem’ sense |

That I would make a saint swear, I always thought it was a compliment.
Children should be seen and not heard.
If the wind changes, your face will stick.
If you hurt yourself with that (garden) fork, don't come running to me.
That will happen when Dick docks, and the liverbirds fly.
I will do it, when the next preston guild comes round. |

My nanna is 97 this year. She talks about the Royal family like their her neighbours that she grew up with...
She still loves watching football, but we now have to remind her that at half time they change the way their shooting so she doesn't cheer for the other team
Over the years she's managed to blow up 3 'michaelwaves' as she calls them so now doesn't have one.... And still, which I think might just be a nanna thing to do, puts food n milk out for all the local cats in the area as if their all her own pets |

‘Always look on the bright side’.
‘When you’ve gone you can’t come back, so live it’
I miss her so much! My gran raised me from 13. She was my best friend, my confidant and everything else in between. We lost my mum when I was 13 and the way she held herself up to make sure she could raise me, is something I’ll always be grateful for
