My grandad is the best grandad you will ever meet, I guarantee. With his great, black glasses and his smokey blue eyes, he could tell a thousand stories. He has silver, grey hair as silver and shiny as the full moon at night and as bald as an egg with a grey beard to match. He is quite a short and stubby person but he does not let that ever get in his way.
Grandad has a bad back but he had an operation to fix that, he now has walking stick but that never stops him from laughing and being his own happy self. He has a huge laugh that wobbles and jiggles his belly side to side. He is a very happy chap and I have very rarely seen him upset.
He was originally born in Wales but decided to move him and his family to a new life in New Zealand. They travelled by boat to their new destination and it took them 6 weeks to finally arrive. In his younger days, he used to work as a freezing worker. He was also a well known dart player; he has loads of cool, shiny trophies and medals, more than I’ll ever have, that’s for sure!
Although grandad is a busy man, he always finds time to spend with his family and with himself. He has a big hobby of fishing with his sons (dad and his brothers), he catches huge fish sometimes, nearly as big as a shark! Another hobby of his is to watch rugby that is all he usually watches most of the time, he used to play rugby when he was younger so I guess that’s why he enjoys watching it.
He has a family of 6 (his children and his loving wife Violet). He always puts his family first.
I love my grandad so much; we nearly lost him last year when he had a heart attack. Luckily he survived
He always gives us something every time we see him, whether it’s a tasty treat or just a loving hug. I never want to lose grandad because he is the best grandad in the world. He is my “Grampey Mike”!
