Mum, Dad and I were talking tonight about our upcoming trip to the Lakes and the plan to get Jake up Alfred Wainwright's first Lakeland walk and we had the communal thought that "Gran would have like this". Thus the idea was born.
Long or short, pictures or words, any time you think of/see/do something that makes you think "Gran would have liked this", post it for the rest of us to look at!
To start you off...I did a crossword with my old buddy Mark the other week and he was one of the first people I managed to share my love of crosswords with back at university. In the same that Gran taught me and then used it as a way to keep in touch, Mark and I do the odd Telegraph crossword (much easier than the Grauniad!) over Skype and it helps to keep in touch. I don't think I told Gran that we did this as the "meetings" are infrequent, but I think she would have liked the idea of the next generation of solvers getting started.
Good blog idea. Thanks for setting it up Ben. Mar would have liked this, if only she had managed to sort out the right Google password.
