Hmm... One grandma handed down a genetic heart condition and an increased chance of breast cancer and the other provided me with a gaggle of grasping, gossiping, vindictive and selfish relatives... an indication of which ~ when my middle aunt discovered her mother probably dead in bed one morning, she phoned an ambulance and her sisters and my father. The eldest sister arrived before the ambulance and was going round the house putting notes on the furniture, dividing it between her three daughters, before her mother had even been pronounced. When my father arrived, she told him he wasn't legitimate so wasn't entitled to anything (we did get something - all the bits of tat left over that they didn't want....). When my father died, the same sister told my mother, at his funeral, that she didn't need the greenhouse and that they'd take it off her hands.


Having said that, my nice grandma taught me to sew.
