My Granny

My Granny

Most people are lucky enongh to have four grandparent but I have only got one. My granny or Jean is very special to me because she is kind, caring and lovely.  I am the only grandson Granny has, she also has three granddaughters.

She was born in  Scotland and grew up on a small farm called Laggan,  which is near the coast. Granny trained as a nurse and midwife in Edinburgh, during her working life she  worked in hospitals in Scotland, Australian and then New Zealand.  The reason Granny ended up living in New Zealand is because she met and married a New Zealand farmer named Donald, he was my Grandfather except I never got to meet him.

She is 77 on christmas day so she gets double presents. Granny is 5 foot 10 so she is a pretty tall. She has diabetes so she is very used needles. She has got white hair, green coloured eyes and glasses.

Granny lives in Te Awamutu she plays a lot of bridge with her friends.  She does voluntary work at the Information Centre, the Health Shuttle and Books on Wheels.

I love her for all of these reasons.
