Thoughts
I remember going to Granna and Poppa’s house in Shipston and watching CBeebies for hours, and I remember watching the film Flushed Away with him. And I remember seeing him watching the Formula 1, and one of his favourite cars was a Ford GT40. And I’ll miss him, Poppa I love you and I’ll miss you every day. xxx
