Since my Nan died last year I’ve been spending a couple of nights a week with my grandfather to keep him company in the evenings. He’s not short of company during the day, my mum and her sisters visit him regularly.
He’s doing really well on his own and likes to keep himself busy pottering around the house and garden.
Last week when I was doing a few jobs for him I noticed this washing basket trolley.
check out the wheel!
My granddad clearly comes from a generation where the term ‘Waste Not, Want Not’ applies to wheels.
Love you Stan the Man!!!
Old Pearly Jenkins 
That’s adorable!
Ha ha. It is a bit . He’s a funny old bugger.
I just lost my mother who was 89 years old. I am in the process of cleaning her house and I have found the same thing. They really were ingenious with the things they came up with in order to solve a problem!
I’m really sorry to read this Elizabeth, its been a few months since you left this comment. I hope these past few months have been a little easier for you.
That’s amazing! My grandmother has told me many times that as a child she wore pieces of cardboard in the soles of her shoes when they started to get holes in the them. It definitely puts things in perspective!
Wow!
We really don’t know how lucky we are!
Sweet!!…Nice of you and your family to spend time with Grand Dad. Grand Parents for me is a extinct breed as all of them have passed by in these 15 years, but they were affectionate and I liked them even if they were not that active in my memory provably due to old age. Best is the home sweets and stories grand ma’s said. Nice wheeler for the washing basket trolley.
Maria. He is worth it! One day I will be in his position and can only hope that my sons will do the same for me. We have to look after each other.
