The link is my Grandad. He used to call me princess what a mess. I am pretty sure that this wasn't because I looked like a dog, but more that I am a little bit messy. I would love to say that as an adult I have changed, but I haven't. The other book is my Masters thesis. Not a well read book by many, but it is dedicated to my lovely Grandad and my Nan. They encouraged me to work hard in school, and I am sure they would have been proud.
Well, Princess what-a-mess, I think you can be sure that grandad and nan are certainly that. Proud.

Frank Muir's books were superb! You've brought back memories with that one. Must find them for my kids...
ReplyDeleteJust glad my Mum kept it, but it holds memories for her too.
DeleteI remember What-a-Mess and I can relate to it! Looks at house full of books and stuff!
ReplyDeleteAwww what a lovely tribute and remembrance to your grandad and nan! Two very special books with such a special connection x
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely post! I have no idea where my thesis is now, I think I was so relieved that it was all over, I put it away and haven't thought about it since. I have never heard of Frank Muir, but there are some books that remind me of my grandparents which is lovely
ReplyDeleteLovely post. Nice to have a book that reminds you of your childhood with your Grandad.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely post and special sentiment :-)
