Yesterday I went out for Dinner with my Mum and my Grandma.  it was delicious thank-you very much.  We had a traditional English Roast Dinner, a few glasses of wine and a good time was had by all of us.  But....   Why is this the subject of a blog?  Well, to answer that, I need to tell you a little about my Grandma.  Well, the first thing is, she is totally unflappable.  There is nothing you could say to her that would shock her - at least not visibly.  She has brought up 12 children of her own, has over 25 grandchildren and 16 great grandchildren.  She is 80 years old, and was brought up in a bygone age, and was the last of a bygone class.

My grandparents lived in a large farm house, standing on over an acre of gardens.  She served tea in a bone china cup, from a silver service.  She is always well dressed - ALWAYS - and regardless of where she is going or shat she is doing, she always has on her pearl necklace and clasp brooch.  In short, she is a lady of a long ended age.

I am rarely shocked by people, but you might imagine the look on my face when my 80 Year old Grandmother, all prim and proper and a genuine English Lady told me this Joke....

"An elderly couple were both in their 90's, and unfortunately the man passed away.

Their grand-daughter came to see her Grandma; and said "I'm so sorry about Grandad.  I love you both so much, how did it happen?"

"Well" Grandma replies, "We were having our usual sunday morning sex..."

"Sex at 90!!" Exclaimed her grand-daughter

"Of course", her Grandma smiled. "We timed ourselves with the church bells - In with the Dings, out on the Dongs"

"He'd still be alive today if that damn ice cream truck hadnt gone past".....

Now honestly - it aint the best joke in the world, but coming from my grandma, it was priceless.  I love my Grandma so much.  She's magic
