Hi I’m Michelle, the Summer Camp Grandma! I’ve lived in Spain for 7 years and this is my 7th Summer Camp with Face 2 Face. My favourite hobbies include eating ice cream and reading. I think Roald Dahl is one of the best authors of all time, so I’m looking forward to seeing some classics recreated by the Summer Camp crew. Here’s to another awesomely creative summer!

‘Because she doesn’t have finger-nails. Instead of finger-nails, she has thin curvy claws, like a cat, and she wears the gloves to hide them. Mind you, lots of respectable women wear gloves, especially in winter, so this doesn’t help you very much.’

‘Mamma used to wear gloves,’ I said.
‘Not in the house,’ my grandmother said. ‘Witches wear gloves even in the house. They only take them off when they go to bed.’
‘How do you know all this, Grandmamma?’
‘Don’t interrupt,’ she said. ‘Just take it all in.
