Describing their relationship, Connor told Belfast Live, “I’ve been shooting grandma videos for years and uploading weird videos on various social media channels.

“When the shutdown happened, it just turned on – I posted a video on TikTok on Friday and we had thousands of followers on Monday, so it was crazy.”

Joanna added: “I never know what’s going on because there are always a lot of streaks here.

Now Joanne stops when she comes out, telling people how much they love the videos.

“I had no idea on social media and now I can’t go anywhere without someone asking me for a picture. But it obviously doesn’t cost much, it was nice bye and anyway I am!” she said.

Remembering how life has changed over the years, Joanna said, “Mother’s Day wasn’t great when I was growing up and our moms didn’t take anything from us.

Back then they didn’t even get a birthday card and now we have things like baby showers and weddings that cost thousands upon thousands. I went to church, got married, went home, and then went to St. Field. On the honeymoon! “

Describing their special relationship, Connor added, “It’s a stone of our family and everyone loves and cares. Grandma Joanna.”
