We Still Have Work to Do at Home… Granny Violet fumbled with the garden gate, shuffled to the door, wrestled with the rusty old lock, stepped into her chilly, empty cottage, and sank onto the chair beside the unlit stove. The air smelled of long absence. She’d only been away three months, but already cobwebs hung from the ceiling, the old wooden chair whined beneath her, and the wind howled down the chimney—as if the house itself was scolding, “Where have you been, mistress? Who did you leave us for? How will we get through winter?” “Just a moment, my dear, let me catch my breath… I’ll get the fire going, we’ll be warm soon,” she murmured. Only the year before, Granny Violet flitted nimbly about the cottage: whitewashing, painting, fetching water. Her slight, spry figure bowed before the icons, bustled by the stove, darted through the garden, planting, weeding, watering. The house rejoiced with her—the floorboards creaked cheerfully beneath her swift, light step, doors and windows yielded eagerly to her strong small hands, the stove faithfully baked plump pies. They were happy together: Granny Violet and her beloved old house. She’d buried her husband early. Raised three children, saw them all educated and respectable. One son was a naval captain, the other a military colonel; both lived far away and rarely visited. Only her youngest, Tammy, stayed in the village as head agronomist, at work from dusk till dawn, popping in to treat her mum to homemade pies on Sundays—then the two wouldn’t see each other for another week. Her consolation was her granddaughter, Sweet Sophie, who’d practically grown up at her granny’s knee. And what a beauty she’d become—large grey eyes, waist-length wavy blond hair shining like ripe barley. Whenever she lashed it into a ponytail, the village lads would be utterly transfixed, jaws dropped. She carried herself so regally—how did a country girl end up with such poise? Granny Violet had been a looker herself in her youth, but an old photo next to Sophie’s made the difference clear—she a shepherdess, Sophie a queen… Brainy too: Sophie finished agricultural college in the city and returned home as an economist, marrying the village vet and, as a young couple, was granted a new brick house—practically a manor by village standards. Still, around Granny Violet’s old cottage, the garden flourished, everything growing and blooming, while Sophie’s new place had yet to sprout more than three humble stems. Truth be told, Sophie wasn’t much for gardening—though a country girl, she was delicate and always shielded by her gran. Then Sophie had a son, little Vinny. No time for gardens now. So, Sophie begged her gran to come live in the modern house—no more stove-tending, all mod-cons! By then, Granny Violet was turning eighty, her legs growing unreliable, and she reluctantly gave in. She stayed with Sophie for a couple of months—until one day Sophie sighed, “Oh granny, I love you so! But why are you just sitting all the time? All your life you’ve been on your feet, but here you just lounge. I want to build a proper home life; I thought you’d help.” “But my dear, my legs don’t work like they used to… I’m old now.” “You didn’t start saying that till you moved in with me…” So Granny Violet, not fitting the role she was hoped to fill, was gently sent back to her old cottage. Heartbroken at her failure, she took to her bed—her legs shuffling slowly, worn out after a lifetime’s service. Even reaching the table was a challenge, the church, impossible. Reverend Barry, her long-time priest and friend, came to visit. He found Granny Violet in her cold kitchen, writing large, shaky letters to her sons: “My dear boy, I am well, thank God, I want for nothing.” Yet the inkblots betraying salty tears told another story. Barry saw she needed a helper—perhaps Annie, the sturdy neighbour, twenty years her junior? He brought bread, biscuits, and half a still-warm fish pie (with love from his wife Alice), cleared out the ashes, stacked the firewood, got the kettle boiling. “Oh, my dear! Oh, Father, help with these addresses? I write like a chicken scrawls, the letters will never get there!” She fussed, and he obliged. Soon Annie began calling on her, Reverend Barry regularly confessed and communed her, and Annie’s husband, Old Pete, would ferry her to church on weekends. Life grew easier. But Sophie, the beloved granddaughter, never visited; then, within a couple of years, fell gravely ill—a cancer, far worse than anyone imagined. Sophie wasted away in half a year, leaving her husband shattered, and little Vinny, four years old, unwanted. Tammy took him in, but she scarcely had time between her farm duties, so Vinny was about to be sent off to a council boarding school—one with a good reputation, hearty meals, children home for weekends, but no substitute for family. Then, in Old Pete’s sidecar, Granny Violet arrived at Tammy’s. “I’ll take Vinny. As long as I live, my great-grandson won’t go to an institution,” she declared. Stunned by her resolve, Tammy packed the boy’s things. Neighbours tutted: “Poor dear’s lost her wits—who will care for her, let alone a little one? He needs love, meals, everything! Why is Tammy letting this happen?” After Sunday service, Reverend Barry braced himself for disaster. Yet in the snug, tidy cottage, he found Vinny cheerful and Granny Violet, once feeble, moving briskly about, baking pastries as if she’d never been sick a day in her life. “My dear Reverend! Don’t leave yet—I’m making cheese buns for you and Alice and your boy!” Barry returned home amazed, and his wife Alice pulled out a blue journal to read a family story: “Old Nell Egerton had reached the end of her long life. One wintry night, knowing the end was near, she bade her family fetch the vicar. Nell confessed, took communion, and lay waiting. Suddenly, a newborn’s howl from the hallway—her granddaughter home from hospital with a colicky babe. The noise roused Nell; with effort, she sat up, put her feet to the floor, found her slippers, and began rocking the child. When the family returned, they found Nell, lively as ever, pacing the room, soothing her great-granddaughter, while the baby’s mum finally got some rest!” Alice smiled, closing the notebook: “My great-gran Nell loved me dearly—she simply couldn’t allow herself to die. As the old song goes, ‘It’s far too soon for us to go—there’s still work to do at home!’ She lived another ten years, helping my mum raise me, her favourite great-grandchild.” And Reverend Barry smiled at his wife in return.
We still have things to do at home Old Granny Vera managed to open the garden gate, hobbled slowly towards
