When I started at London University back in 1984 I was looking forward to a freedom that had previously been absent; no parents to oversee everything I did - or tried to do...
Sure enough the physical education degree was not proving too onerous and the wine, women & song (beer, birds and bawdiness more like) were in full flow. Fate dealt me what appeared to be a very cruel card; to whit my grandfather died leaving behind a 72 year old widow who was very bitter that he should die before her; despite the fact that he left her a cool half million, a country cottage and a six bedroomed mansion in St John's Wood, just twenty minutes from my own very modest digs.
Which was where the problem came. She sold the cottage and moved full time to the smoke "To be nearer my physician, my club and my grandson." Her exact words.... You've seen the type before; twin set and pearls weren't the half of it - bigoted, bullying and brash came closer. At first she was relaxed about my wild ways across NW3, insisting only that I attended Sunday Lunch once a month - cooked by a club footed Latvian with a serious scowl and even more serious moustache.
But then came the request for aid, a bombshell dropped over port and cheese. "David, you are aware of course that I have long suffered from poor circulation." She did not wait for a response but merely viewed me over the rim of her glasses, looking for, and receiving, a nod of recognition. "Well, among other things - including these damned hot and itchy stockings." At which she raised her thick tweed skirt a little and displayed a surgical looking pop-sock encasing a hugely impressive calf above which was a dazzlingly white leg, dimpled knee and a hint of massive, fat thigh disappearing north into the dark (and presumably sweaty) confines of her Harris covered mid-section. For a moment, a fleeting moment only at that point, I wondered whether her knickers were similarly surgical. But then she let the skirt drop and continued. "Your late Grandfather was a great help, he would massage my feet and calves most expertly. The resultant relief was exquisite." She really did speak like that, a throwback from Victorian society with strict moral values to match. Aye, that's what I thought then. "Since he passed on" she continued, "I have occasioned the use of a masseur, a handsome brute with impressive credentials but not the faintest clue. You, as a PT Instructor" (She was disinterestedly vague about my degree course) "will have been trained in physio-therapy and muscular manipulations I would imagine and I will need you to assist me." Note that it was not a request, merely a demand.
As a matter of fact I excelled at massage and the like, I saw early on that it was a superb key to the fairer sex and a marvellous way to get my hands on them in an apparently innocent fashion. With Granny I was cautious though; "I'm not qualified Gran and poor circulation isn't something that I can even pretend to know about." "Nevertheless" she replied while standing up to her full 5'10", "you'll have to do. There is a couch in the drawing room that is perfectly suited to the job in hand. I will meet you there directly." And she marched out, huge arse swaying as she did so.
At this point I should describe Grandma; 5'10" 15 stone (210lbs) long grey hair - always in a bun - absolutely gigantic tits that, despite what I imagined would be top quality supporting bras, still rested on top of a bulbous and disconcertingly solid stomach. Her hips and arse were similarly proportioned - tree trunk legs that appeared joined together somewhere mid calf. All in all a formidable woman with temper to match and a cast iron sense of dignity. Ho ho ho.
I sat waiting in the drawing room - hitherto unexplored by yours truly - and was casually admiring the view across to Lords Cricket Ground when in strode Granny. I was lost for words. The Tweed twin set was gone and the bun unravelled to display long, lank, greasy grey hair to her waist. Thin hair and apparently very dirty but still impressive for a 72 year old woman. The pearls had gone as had the glasses and she was dressed in what can only be described as an old nighty - white cotton, scoop necked and stopping an inch short of the floor. One other thing was absolutely certain - the bra had been dispensed with too for her pendulous tits swung free beneath the cotton and would have been brushing her thighs had her stomach not been in the way. For the first time I saw that my grandmother was vulnerable as she looked first at me and then at the floor. "I, I thought it would be easier if I were changed." She stammered, "Ernest [my grandfather] would massage me morning and night when were in our nightwear." I bet he did I thought and once again took in her huge bosom and couldn't help imagining what those titties were like in the raw as it were. "Good idea Gran." I chivvied her and rose to guide her to the couch - a medical looking affair that would suit her purpose just fine. "Firstly just sit on it and relax." All professional like, I elevated the backrest and got her comfortable and positioned myself on a footstool at her feet, looking up at her I could just see her face above the swollen stomach - her tits had fallen either side of her and were, I swear, resting on the couch either side. A later peak at her underwear confirmed it, 62HH.
