I always was very close to my grandparents, and still am to my nan who is still battling on in the indestructable way that she always has, and at 86 is as fit as a fiddle bless her
Unfortunately I lost my grandad 11 years ago, which was a massive loss to me, and as a result I am very protective of my dear old nan, would jump through burning rings for her. Anyway, she gave me his grandfather clock recently (I`m not even a dad, but that`s a minor detail haha!) which hasn`t run since he died, no matter how many times it went to the clock menders, it was having none of it, I find that spooky.................
Anyhoo, I managed to purchase and fit a new movement to it, and it`s running/chiming beautifully in my dining room, and that sound takes me right back to when he was here
That clock to me now is priceless, if my house was on fire I would rescue it, and would never give it to anybody else at any cost.
I may be daft or over sentimental, but that`s me
