MY granny died a year ago.

At 97 she was a remarkable lady and, till the end, did three cryptic crosswords a day and finished each evening with a large whisky.

Since then – and with the sale of her house finally going through – it's been a process of delicately sewing up the details of her life, culminating in the final clearing out of her belongings.
