How do you remember your grandparents?

For me…

Staying round at Nanny and Grandad’s house was always fun. Trips on the bus, looking at photo albums, helping Nanny with the cooking and bonfires with Grandad.

Grandma’s garden is a riot of colour all through the summer. She is always out there with her secateurs - dead heading the spent flowers and encouraging new buds. Her garden smells as good as it looks - when I asked her, the pink fragrant peonies were her absolute favourite.

What is your favourite flower?

My Grandad used to grow tomatoes in the greenhouse, runner beans in the veg patch and we loved making bonfires with him as kids. He was the loveliest of men 🤍

The smell of fresh tomatoes still reminds me of Grandad Atkinson!
