I used to get a lot of people saying 'Oh, you are such a lucky granny.' But the fact of the matter is you can be a grandma at 35 these days.

Being a grandparent is whole new phase in your life.

My life came down to being a granny and watching a lot of television.

As I learned from growing up, you don't mess with your grandmother.

Everything people say about grandparenthood is true - it is pleasure without responsibility. It is unquestioned love.

When you get into the granny era, you're lucky to get anything.

For the record, my mother is an astonishing and loving grandmother.

Obviously I'm delighted I'm a grandfather, but I guess it takes a little while to digest. You start thinking, 'Oh, I'm half-way over the natural life span. So this is the last bit, and I'd better enjoy it.'
