story

My grandad is phil and he has Black hair with some grey through it.   His hair is quite short with a little wavy bit and A little bit receding. Grandad face is usually clean shaven (no whiskers). He as a few wrinkles but you mostly see his Big beaming smile. Grandad usually

wears glasses to read and drive. He is Very talkative and repeats stories with a big laugh.

My favorite

moment with grandad was when i went in his big summerlands truck it was like i was in the clouds it was so high. His truck is green and the trailer says summerlands here is a photo of a truck like his. One day me and grandad went to some landcorp farms to deliver dog food and dog roll it was fun it was so fun hopefully i get to do it again.
