Like you I'm not your stereotypical nan although I do have a penchant for peppermints!. I've got 7 grandsons and 4 grandaughters. Ages range from 9-23. 7 live fairly close but 4 are 'down south' in Portsmouth and we don't get to see them as often they are all an absolute joy and I cannot see enough of them. my eldest daughtere has now gone into granny overdrive as her first grandchild (a little girl) is due at the beginning of October. I still can't get used to them being able to know in advance wether it is a boy or a girl. They are all beautiful and give undescribable pleasure so enjoy - as if you need telling.
