My great host grandfather!!!

Can you imagine that a 79 years old man could do wing-walking on a biplane and bungee jump, make parachute jump as well as climb a cliff in a day?!  It is my host grandpa, Jim Ellis Beech, that did the four stunts when he was 79 years old in one day!!! I was shocked when I heard this news! It is unbelievable, but it is a fact. He did it.

THE UK'S FITTEST DAD

I sat and thought and thought all day,

Who's the fittest in the whole UK,

Olympic runers or TV stars,

Still my thoughts ran near and far,

MY DAD's the fittest of the kind.

His hobbies includes all sorts of sports,

The type young athletes now are taught,

His first is bungee, the jumping kind,

Off a bridge the rope unwinds,

He feels no fear at his age,

He could give up at any stages,

But now he wing walks on a plane,

This man by now must be insane,

Hundreds of  feet in the air,

He waves his arm without a care,

And now he jumps a parachute strapped,

To his back he is a brave chap,

Falling freely as a bird,

He must be fit, how absurd,

But on he goes, an absail now,

Down a cliff, don't ask me how,

Rope, boots and helmet cald,

If you ask me he must be mad,

But whilst he carries out these sports,

There's one thing deep in his thoughts,

They're all for charity, other's needs,

Other's benefit from his good deeds,

For whilst my DAD is the fittest man,

His family are his greatest fan,

Cos come July we celebrate,

His eighteenth birthday,

WE THINK HE'S GREAT!

Now he is 90 years old. He looks quite stong! He is quite healthy except that he doesn't have a good memory. He will ask you a question many times.

We had tea tonight together! You can not believe that he is already 90 years old. He can still eat pork. What's more, his mind is quite clear. He likes to show the old photoes to us and tell us the old things that he did. One of  the amazing things is that the Queen payed a visit to him, because grandpa was a trainer in the army! Wow!!! That is amazing. What a fantastic life my host grandpa has!!! Although he is quite old, he still has a clear mind. He likes to crack jokes,especially tease us. I thought that grandpa did't have a spoon when we were going to have dessert, so I asked him whether he wanted me  to get a spoon for him. He said yes when I got a glimpse of that the spoon was hidden in his big hand. Then we both laughed. So lovely that old man is. I like him very much!!

Wish him good health and a happy ending life!!
