Tomas’ grandmaPlace of birth/family.

My grandmother had six brothers and five sisters, she gave birth to three sons and one daughter and I’ve got only two brothers. This is a good example of how families have changed.

My grandmother met my grandfather when she was fourteen years old in the avenue. My grandfather rode her in his motorbike and she fell in love with him.

They got married in San Juan del Puerto.

However, I went to school till the age of eleven, at the moment I’m going to Secondary School and I plan to study History at the University. I’m grateful for this opportunity that my grandma didn’t have.

School Days and work

My grandmother didn’t go to school, she had to work to help her family. When she was a teenager she used to help her mum, she cut wood and she fed her animals.She used to look after sheep and pick up olives. She sometimes went from one place to another on her dad’s donkey and she used to guard a field where her dad grew melons.

Tomas’ grandmaFree time / Christmas

In her free time, she used to play “hopscotch” and skipped the rope. She enjoyed wearing the tradional dress from Andalucía as you can see in the photo.

I usually play computer games. My favourite game is Roma Total World. I watch TV I prefer serials as “los Protegidos”, “Águila Roja” and I read good mistery books such as “Luces de Septiembre” (September lights).

For Christmas her parents used to give her a basket with sweets. My parents give me a lot of presents and some money.
