I too had a hint of sadness when I realised that the GC don’t need me so much now they’re teenagers. However am lucky enough to have a busy life going out with friends, holidays etc what’s nice tho is that my GC also have become my holiday companions ! I took my 2 granddaughters for a long weekend to Paris last year, and they’ve now just asked if we can go to Venice this year. Nice to be able to do grown up things with them. The 3 grandsons don’t like walking too much ? so I hire an Airbnb with a pool to keep them amused when I have them in school holidays.
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
