Gran was my teenage saviour

uprooted from their lives and friends as a teenager gangly after his family moved, John Murray found salvation and a common passion for snooker grandmother

The bottom fell out of my world of adolescence in January 1990 when he was forced to move home and leave behind the life he knew. However, salvation came in the place most likely, a stoic, efficient, 4 feet 10 inches, Presbyterian, octogenarian woman with hearing problems - my grandmother

mobile home is not a tragedy, but for me at that time that it was. Shortly after my 14th birthday in June 1989, my father told the family that won promotion and will soon leave the coastal town of Troon for a new life 100 miles away, in the center of the Perth.

was devastated, as my sister, Susan, and yet the world tells us to make new friends, were furious at having been forced to leave our friends, an essential part of the life of the Most teenagers and the rest of our family. We were both determined not to make a go of it and in the months that preceded the movement that came together in a stubborn Huff.

Knowing local talent in our new school, however, my brother Dunkirk spirit soon faded, and shortly after the removal, during a lively discussion about the neighbors and a TV dinner, she I said grow. I did not, I did not need anyway. I was not long in finding another partner, one with experience in the last war.

Before we moved, Gran was clear he could not stay with her always liked. Therefore all holidays and weekends as well as many others, from the age of 14 years, right up until I had my own apartment in Glasgow, 19 years this is exactly what I did.

Great

heard and despite our huge age difference, but they really do not have much in common. I was a teenager lanky 6 feet 2 inches he loved Talking Heads, De La Soul, The Stone Roses, drinking and "smoking a cigarette" with my friends. My little, preferring knitting gordo for music, had only occasional sherry and hated smoking. We share a passion, though - looking pool

old age put me into the pool. She watched the biggest televised tournaments and Stephen Hendry liked best. Hendry also liked - was virtually unstoppable in the 90s - but I really liked Jimmy White and tried in vain to win by a closing

was a television strange observation with Gran. He slumped in his chair in front of the big TV and I sat on the other side of the room and confronted the screen. To hear the case, huge headphones connected, comedians, and his booming of them was so strong that I could hear it too.


hindsight, I regret to treat the place like a hotel, but I was young and beautiful life. Lately, in my 20 and 30 years, have visited Gran anymore because, like many retirees, who spent most of his years in peace.

Maggie Jane Miller was born in the family of a baker in Glenluce, Wigtownshire in 1909. The eldest of nine years, left home as a teenager and worked as a maid in Hillhouse Lodge, the home of a wealthy landowner career mansion near ready to Ayrshire. The family had his habitual residence in London, but returned to Scotland each year for the racing season. Great job for a family in London when World War II broke out. She married my grandfather, Alexander Murray, during the war and then returned to Ayrshire. My grandfather took his old horse and round and milk basket Grande has become cleaner, she continued to do so in 70 years. My grandfather died in the 1970s, before I was born.
do not know if it came from a large family, rationing during the war or trying to stay on top of things with a clean wage Gran is economical. She spent only £ 4.50-odd purchases on a weekly basis and even had a new way to get the last drop of ketchup. It was glass bottle wrapped in a towel, then slamming hard on the edge of the kitchen table so that the lower glass panel fell from the rod. Then, with a butter knife, scrape had the rest of the sauce bottle and a small bowl. I've never had shards of glass in the bowl of salsa.
