I spent endless school holidays with them at their summer houses. My maternal grand father taught me how to fish, use and look after a rowing boat (old fashioned wooden ones), my maternal grand mother taught me how to pick mushrooms and which ones not to pick. Granny was the inspiration for reading and my paternal grand father taught me to drive a motor boat and made sure I kept the family interest in glass alive. In fact I do believe all of them have inspired me to take up family research. Sadly all my grand parent have passed away but I did have a very strong bond with all of them.
