What stories did your grandparents tell you?

I spent quite a lot of time with my maternal grandma, but she didn't tell me anything at all about her life, and I wasn't the sort of child who would ask. Nowadays, I really kick myself for not being more inquisitive.
In recent years, my mum has told me lots though, about both her own childhood and my grandma's younger years, but apart from the 'secret' (involving an illigitimacy) that my brother and had both worked out anyway as young children, there was nothing of any great interest.

Despite seeing my paternal grandparents once a month when I was growing up (well, grandad, as grandma had died many years earlier), I knew nothing about them either. I dont remember any real interaction with them, apart from us all playing cards together after Sunday tea when I was in my teens. Their past was a mystery to me.

Fortunately, in the last few years before he died, my dad set about writing down the everything he could remember about his life, although we were not to read it until after his death. Some of it was mundane, but most of it was fascinating.

Thanks to that, I have loads of stories relating to three generations of that side of the family, including his Scottish dad, his Irish mother, and what led to them ending up in Yorkshire. There are hundreds of fascinating /sad /funny / frightening stories.
Only one or two of the recollections had been mentioned when I was growing up, so I am absolutely delighted that Dad shared them with us eventually - even the ones that have shocked me a little bit. 😊

My grandparents didn't tell me any stories, although my grandfather did sometimes to drawings for me. It's very annoying now because they seem to have had quite interesting histories and their are huge gaps in what I know now.
