We all called her "Little Granny" she was very short and always did her own house work for as long as I can remember. She told us some fantastic stories and laughed like nobodies business. One story that sticks in my mind was a story she told us about her Husband whilst in Scotland he was going to become an undertaker. Anyway in Scotland when a person passed away he was left as he was until his relatives had been to see him then the undertaker was called to collect the remains. Her husband was told to go and collect a body that had passed away a while ago and so he took the hearse and coffin to the house and the deceased had passed away sitting in bed. When he got there he found that the body had become stiff and would not lie flat in the coffin so he had to place his hands on the mans chest and knees to push him flat. he did this and the body gave off a whole lot of noises so he just left everything and told the undertaker that the hearse and coffin were at the house and that they could go and collect it from there.
