Grandparents are gold. Billie

These are my grandparents… Grandpa and Babcia. I used to see them during the year at things like birthdays and Christmas, but now I’ve been spending more time with them. I used to get a bit bored at their place but that was before I heard all their amazing stories and found out all the things we have in common. It made me realise that grandparents really are gold.

Here are some questions I asked them. Why don’t you ask your grandparents some of these too? And maybe share some of your own answers as well!
