GRANDMOTHER's WISDOM

We need some light relief let's talk about Grandmother's and their pearls of wisdom?
Mine said 
"Have a bath, clean your teeth, brush your hair, put on your makeup, put on your best dress, put a smile on it and try to put people in a good mood, don't leave them feeling terrible, and do everything in your life you wish to do., Walk, ride and play the piano. Don't be like your Mother. Your Mother has terrible hands!" she whispered naughtily. She said this shortly after I caught her walking in the garden with no clothes on aged 70 with three of her girlfriends, Isobel Salmon and Beryl Neame. You won't know them but they were huge characters.  I had to hide behind the honeysuckle bush. My Grandmother died 6 months later. Beryl Gilliat 1910-1981 Pianist known to me as Squirrel.
