  .....sang Billy Connolly on the theme tune to Supergran in 1985, well my Gran doesn’t have a flying bike, but she totally ripped it up at the esteemed Goodwood racecourse in a Lamborghini, a Ferrari and a Porker (not pictured, because they suck). She clocked up 135mph on the straights, that’s 217kmh in new money. She’s 90, in fact, she’s well into her 90s. And she makes awesome raspberry jam. She has the lifeforce, and I have her haircut, so by my reckoning I’ll be powering a Bugatti Veyron round the M25 in another 62 years. / (My Gran is not called Beryl, in case the colloquialism escapes you)

After the peas had been shelled, it carried out the hulls. / In the fall, the apron was used to bring in apples that had fallen from the trees. / When unexpected company drove up the road, it was surprising how much / furniture that old apron could dust in a matter of seconds. / When dinner was ready, Grandma walked out onto the porch, waved her apron, and the men knew it was time to come in from the fields to dinner. / It will be a long time before someone invents something that will replace that ‘old-time apron’ that served so many / purposes. / REMEMBER: / Grandma used to set her hot baked apple pies on the window sill to cool Her granddaughters set theirs on the window sill to thaw. / They would go crazy now trying to figure out how many germs were on that apron. I don’t think I ever caught anything from a Apron.
