Grandparents are the best!

Joanne, Bailey, Baxter, Eli and Ali are extremely lucky. Not only do they travel and live in a beautiful windmill, but they have four wonderful grandparents to share!

Each one of the kids has a special bond with one of their grandparents, but they are all loved equally.

Grandmother Julia is excellent when it comes to the babies, twins Baxter and Bailey. She can quieten them down much quicker than anyone else can, and loves children. The twins especially like her cuddles at night when they are falling to sleep.

Grandma Elizabeth tells the best stories. She likes to take Joanne on a long walk and tells her the most wonderful tales. They are wonderful because some bits are real and some aren't, so it all feels like magic!

Grandad Henry adores nature, and his special little ladybug, Eli. He is always popping her into her pushchair and they can spend hours together in the meadows and fields of Foxbridge looking at everything from the bark on the trees to the bugs in the grass.

Grandfather Joseph is very funny, and little Ali throws his head back and giggles all day long. He's sometimes a little confused as Grandfather seems very bad at finding him playing hide and seek, but the one time he tried to eat the toothpaste he got spotted straight away.

We are all very lucky to have grandparents! I am so lucky to have got to know all of mine, even if I no longer have them all now. My granny is especially wonderful, and always tells me the best stories, slips me holiday money and makes me feel at home. She met my partner last week and approved of him fully, which is perfect! I know you might not be able to get the time to read this, Granny, but if you do, thank you for everything, and I love you very much!
