Everything is my favourite part of being a grandma, from the youngest beaming , holding her chubby little arms out and screaming grandma xx My older grandchildren confiding in me with things they won't discuss with their parents. Just the feeling of being so loved and special to them all.

My 14 month old granddaughter, Kairi has just started calling me Nana and I love it. Grandad is still Ya ya so I feel quite chuffed that there is no mistaking my name, although I must admit, that Ya ya is soooooooooo sweet!
