No one makes soup like my Grandpa’s,
with its diced carrots the perfect size
and its diced potatoes the perfect size
and its wee soft bits –
what are their names? …

There is no need they say
but the needles still move
their rhythms in the working of your hands
as easily
as if your hands
were once again those sure and skilful hands
of the fisher-girl…

My grandfather didn’t know he was a Taoist.
He had fished the river Awe for sixty years.
Life is sensed as a flowing movement,
a power like wind or water. When he cast,
it was the bank that moved, not the river…

from The Bridport Prize Anthology 2013

“The girl’s sense of her own absolute separateness from her ancient grandmother has been established only to be gently challenged: ‘But you are contemporaries –’ … Young and old are both connected and synchronised, ‘you walk this earth together’.”

—Carol Rumens on Meg Bateman’s “Nighean is Seanmhair aig a’ Ghailearaidh Nàiseanta”

A nighean a dhìreas an staidhre le do sheanmhair,
a dàrna làmh na do làimh-sa, a bata san tèile,
saoilidh tu gu bheil i cho sean ris a’ cheò,
gun smuain air do làmh fhèin a’ fàs preasach
no do dhruim crotach…

Happy Grandparents Day! 👵👴 Today, we celebrate the love, wisdom, and joy grandparents bring into our lives. Surrogacy doesn’t just create parents—it creates a whole new generation of grandparents, eager to love and spoil their grandchildren.

National Grandparents Day.

#GrandparentsDay#NationalGrandparentsDay#Grandparents#GrandparentLove#Grandma#Grandpa#Family National Grandparents Day is celebrated. Apart from our parents, grandparents also have a big role in our lives. When our parents go to work, it is our grandparents who take care of the children. It is the grandparents who introduce us to our culture. Grandparents love us a lot. People who have grandparents are very lucky. All of you should also serve…
