Sounds like an incredibly isolated upbringing.

I'm lucky enough to have had good contact with three of my grandparents. Two lived close by and we went to see them every Sunday. I have many fond memories of my grandad in particular. He was a kind, gentle man, who loved model engineering.

My other grandad was a widower but we saw him usually twice a year - once when he visited us, and once when we went to Somerset. I was his first grandchild and we were always close. He had an incredibly dry sense of humour - you really had to be alert to catch the joke.

He was a woodworker by hobby, made many toys and a climbing frame for us.
