Diary of a Gen Z Student: Wisdom, wit and warmth from a chat with grandad

Jane Cowan with her beloved grandad: "He puts things into well-needed perspective for me. His relentless wisdom and humour always mean I leave the conversation feeling better than I did at first."
My grandad isn’t like most grandads. He plays golf with the lads every day. He knows more about history than anyone I’ve ever met. He makes a mean cup of tea. He’s irreverent and ferociously funny.
He has always been an important figure in my life. As a child, I loved when we went for sleepovers in grandad’s house. He always had the house ready before we arrived.
