Gram (Anne)

Limrick Writer

This is our Gramma Anne, affectionately called ‘Gram’. She is 95 and she does lots of Gramma-like things: goes for walks, plays cards, bakes delicious treats. She has also taken to writing funny and often crude limericks, usually about her family and their friends. Our 5 Liner Cider is a tribute to Gram and her limericks
