When I was really little my parents went on holiday and my nan came to look after me. I'd never been around her without my parents around, and was worried because I thought she'd turn into some kind of wicked witch grandma, obviously some kind of amalgam from different fairy tales. The week leading up to it was torture. I'm glad to report we had a great time, although maybe it just seemed that way because I was so relieved not to have ended up in her cooking pot...
