Grandad's Green Bean
I am very, very happy to present a new issue of the Green Bean!
This is a very special issue, dedicated to my dear Grandad who passed away earlier this year at the ripe old age of 95. He left us with so much to celebrate, and so many happy memories: more than enough to fill a Green Bean and then some.
I've loved every moment of creating the zine, taking the time to remember how lucky I am to have had him in my life, and for so long (not many people have active and healthy Grandparents well into their late twenties). He inspired my love of nature, and his particular passion was for birds.
The other part of his life that the zine touches on, but doesn't cover in huge detail is his ability to make people laugh: sometimes on purpose, often without meaning to. In fact, there are a whole plethora of Funny Grandad Stories that I've been collecting. I'm saving them for a graphic novel one day....
In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this little paper celebration of my amazing Grandad's life.

What a lovely tribute. My Grandad knew a lot about nature also, but he called the Long-Tailed Tit a Willy Wagtail. I always think of him when I see them :-)
