....and so very old at the same time.

Have just had a call to say I am a Great-grandma. Didn't Great-grandmas have grey hair and sit by the fire knitting.......Ahh.....having said that.

A two-year-old child, plus her granny and great-granny:
(There's hope for you yet, I think, Gness!):

Thanks, Chris and that is the first reel I ever learnt up in Mayo on a flag floor and wearing my wellies. :-)

Welcome to the little one, lovely news x

[gness]

Thanks, Choux. She's Poppy which I like.

Not in my family, my great grandma, terrorised her husband, and taught my sister and I rude (ish) songs and poems. And another great grandma 'took in lodgers' when her husband was in the army.

[gness]

You're right, Rowan. I didn't know my Great-grandmas but the Mayo one cleared off to America leaving her husband with seven children. The Kerry one was a Doctress which is a sort of white witch. No knitting there then. :-)

I think we are the products of our ancestry, maybe one day the little one will look back and go... 'my great grandma was AWESOME!!!!!

Congratulations, it's a wonderful honour to be called Great Grandma..I have one of each. They give the best hugs..

[Toorak]

Congratulations - woo hoo!

[gness]

Thanks, Thisoldbird. Will be a while before I meet her.

When we found out about the white witch, Rowan my brother said.....
Well that explains our Gness then.

[gness]

Thanks, Toorak. :-)

[MrsLadyBug]

Just popped in to say Congratulations Gness.
Welcome to the club!
Do they live anywhere near you. will you get to see them often.
Give her as many hugs as you can. She will carry that with her in her heart.

[gness]

Thank you, MrsLB. Will be a while. They’re in the UK and I can’t see me getting over this year. X

We are great-grandparents to a lively five year old.

My granddaughter is 27, and when she says 'Grandad ...', I still wonder who she's talking to!!
