All her life I have known her,
My wonderful granddaughter.
Now reaching a magic age
Where a zero comes beyond the three.
A lady of confidence,
A lady who says what she means,
Does not suffer fools at all.
But in her time with me
We have an understanding,
Where we can talk of all things
And know exactly where we stand.
A wonderful relationship
Where two generations apart
Come together in harmony,
In harmony,
In respect,
And with love.

A lovely read Andy on this special occasion - Steph has a very understanding Grand-Dad and she must treasure your times spent together so may I add my Happy Birthday to a lady of 30 and wish her a beautiful day.

'A wonderful relationship

hope you had a joyous celebration of such a momentous occasion,
a 'toast' to you, for being one of those who truly get - the precious intricacies and cherished relationships of our lives,
'salud' my wise friend
Thank you LB, yes we had a great time in celebrating her special day.

Andy,
The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is very special. I’ve witnessed with my own children and their grandparents —a special bond indeed.
I would like to extend my belated birthday wishes to your granddaughter, Steph.
Is she the granddaughter who studied French and Italian?
Happy Sunday.

N.B.-I enjoyed the video very much.
Thank you Laura. It is a special bond.
Steph was working in Beijing teaching Englisha= as a foreign language, she and her friend went on holiday to Laos before Corona broke out in China but they could not get back into China because of the virus, so they came home to England. They just cannot wait to get back to China as they enjoy their work so much.
Helena, the other one got a First Class Honours degree with distinctions in French and Italian, she is now in France with her boyfriend and will be going to work in Lyons University in September/October.
Andy
