Grandad

he worked on a farm ,he was as pleasent as a man could be ,he was very muchd 
cared and loved for by everyone and me ,i remember my grandad write back from 
when he first sat me upon his knee .my first bike i learnt to ride he tought  me.i 
learnt quite alot from my grandad .he lived in the counry -side .when i seen the bats 
a night iwould hide.dont be affraid he said to me they wont hurt u they hang upside 
down come to the window and see .i wish my grandad was still here with me,ihave 
other children iwish he could see .he called me dumplings when i had mumps as my 
cheeks had swollen lumps.veg in his garden he would grow ,heres the 
seed he say il show you how to sow .on a sunday he would pick the mint leafs and 
podded peas ,would u like to help me oh grandad yes please and will never forget 
these happy memories.
