It's shopping-run day and I am just coming out of my Gran's flat.
'I'm very old' she says and tells me again how she had charmed them all over the years and how she once charmed and lived in peace with the difficult locals on Manor Farm.

"When in Rome do as the Romans do
Never trouble trouble till trouble troubles you".

The sheltered housing flat doors are very close together and I accidentally bump into my Gran's neighbour who is going in.

'I am so sorry' I say politely.

Gran's charm? Inimitable.

"Don't apologize to that old witch!"
