Brain Fog

 Oh dear oh dear, oh dear. Last night as we both penned a little post about ourselves we both forgot one of the most important elements of life at 'this stage' - MENOPAUSE!!

Both Grannie Annie and Granny McC are confident we might be 'out the other side', but we're not definite. And well, our absent mindedness to mention MENOPAUSE confirms that our 'brain fog' is very much part of every day life still.

But another reason for this blog is to shout from the rooftops the importance of talking about this crucial experience we women must go through. 

More on our thoughts and experiences will be written about, but we want to start off on an honest footing, so admitting our 'brain fog' and its very real presence was a must this morning.

Can we just point out that all our lady problems start with that word 'MEN' - Menstrual, Menstruation, Mental, Menopause - can you think of someone in our lives who might be responsible for our apparent troublesome times - MEN!! All in jest of course lads. All in jest!!

Introducing The Two Grannies

 It's time to put ourselves out there and let you know just who these 'Two Grannies' are. First up, it's myself Gráinne. Most know me as the face behind The WRITE STUFF Kids Club and The WRITE STUFF: Creative Writing facilitator, freelance writer, tutor and the gal who loves all things books and Shakespeare. But this is a whole other side that I now hope to explore. The side that feels it has acquired wisdom and life learning. The side that is fueled by friendship and life lessons. And all of that supported by the friend of 40+ years, Granny Annie.  I'm wife to one, mother to three, and granny to one. This is not about the role of being a granny, but more about the stage in life this brings me to. A stage where I'm content within myself, find it easier to say 'no', and know the importance of taking time for 'me'. I've reached this stage with a great family and a super circle of friends around me. And it's the friendship element that is go...

Learning to Drive

One of the most valued talents we grannies both have, is the ability to drive. We pride ourselves daily on that undertaking we took when we were both 30+. Driving was something that really was alien to both Granny Annie and Granny McC. As I (Granny McC) write this I still smile at that first journey I took on my own - to my parents house just a few miles away. At the time I had three young sons, two were in school and the youngest at home with me. I remember strapping him into the car seat behind, and off we went. As I parked at my parents house I remember the feeling to this day - I was bewildered as to how I got there. Not one second of the journey did I remember. I clearly drove on pure adrenalin that day. I was petrified of the drive home. But I made it, and I never looked back. Some months later, I passed my test and the squeal of delight and pride was heard on the moon I'm certain. Around the same time Granny Annie was also learning to drive. Like myself she too always thoug...

Grannies who READ

Dr Seuss once said, 'You can find magic wherever you look, sit back and relax, all you need is a book.' Reading is not only a pastime and a hobby. It is empowering, inspiring and it really does provide an escape from everyday life. It can take you to places you never thought you would travel, and it can take you to places where you can find the real you. In many a book you will see you and you will learn about you. In other books you will find inspiration to keep going, ideas to change you, and always an enjoyment and fulfilment for you. Myself Granny McC, and Granny Annie are avid readers. However for one of us, that wasn't always the case - Granny Annie is a newbie to reading. And she has discovered 'a whole new world and one where I really can travel daily and find myself lost in another world.' Granny Annie shows that you're never too old to discover the joy of reading.  Granny McC has always been a book addict and reading lover. Many times over the years I ...
