I didn't get to see Grandad as often as I would have liked but we shared some good times together. One of my earliest memories is staying with him and Granny in a static caravan. I was only about 4. Another time he impressed me and my sister with his reactions when his hat was blown off by a gust of wind and he spun round and caught it! He always seemed to have words of wit and wisdom and taught me to 'measure twice, cut once'. He had interest and ability in a wide range of practical and intellectual fields, which has inspired me to do likewise.
