Our grandson loves American football. I should love to take him to the States to see a game.

I’d take them to Scotland they love the great outdoors and adventures

I would like to take my grandchildren all around Scotland, there is so much to see and do, plus a lot that they could learn too. The highlands are breathtaking as well as the islands, the Orkney islands have a lot of interesting sites and the Hebrides have beautiful beaches. Wildlife in Scotland is awesome too.

Obviously I’d rent a cottage in the Isle of Man and take my two lovely grandsons there. Why, because in the words of Sir Paul Mc Cartney I’ve got older, not quite loosing my hair but soon to be 64.

I would take them to New England to show them that there’s much more to America than what you see on the news.

I would take then to a little village in Southern Italy called Atina where they could see where my grandmother and her grandmother and way back further used to live. It is beautiful with great weather and holds a little piece of my heart ?

I would take them to Lapland to see Santa, and ride on a sleigh!

I would love to take my grand children to see their great grand mother Singapore. They will have a chance to see the beautiful scenery and enjoy the delicious food and be pampered by their great aunt and uncles.

It would have to be the classic Disneyland in Florida. I would love to see their faces in the ultimate land of make believe

I would take them to Clayton Bay in Yorkshire, I regularly took my children there when they were young and we had some wonderful times. We are now spread around the world so don’t get to see each other often and very rarely see all my grandchildren together.

I would take her wherever her imagination would wander.

I think a trip to Lapland for Christmas would be something really unique and something the grandkids would love.

Kazzy Thu 24-Oct-19 19:55:10

I would take them around my favourite parts of this country, The Yorkshire Dales, The Lake District, The Peak District, The Yorkshire Moors etc, there are plenty of beautiful places in our country, people are too quick to go abroad these days.

If you could take your grandchildren anywhere in the world, where would it be . . . . to the moon, the sea of Tranquility to be precise, for a bit of peace lol

luckycat Thu 24-Oct-19 11:41:43

sylviab Thu 24-Oct-19 11:24:50

I would take my granddaughter to Disneyland to make here wishes come true.

makemineajammiedodger Thu 24-Oct-19 11:23:14

I would take my grandchildren to Legoland in Billund. I've just been there (with granddad!) and we both agree it would make a fantastic whole family trip!

WS87NT Thu 24-Oct-19 11:17:07

NEW ORLEANS - I'd take them to experience the wonderful musical lifestyle and heritage of New Orleans and the Mardi Gras. Hopefully I'd sneak them in to look at the legendary Carousel Bar in the Hotel Monteleone too.

Rowantree Thu 24-Oct-19 01:06:24

I'd take them to Cornwall, to the seaside, together, for a week with us, their grandma and grandpa. They don't see each other much and they adore each other - GD is 6, GS is 3. I'd love playing with them building sandcastles, exploring rocks and rockpools, splashing about in the sea, chasing waves, racing on the sand, collecting shells and pebbles. We'd buy ice creams and eat fish and chips on the beach. We'd get sand in our socks and salt in our hair. We'd just have fun, and enjoy precious time together, just being children and being loved, safe and free.

I would take them to a sunny island that is soft and fluffy and made of carrots that taste of chocolate so they would enjoy eating healthily! If they fell they would be chshioned and all their worries would be left behind!

dahlia08 Thu 24-Oct-19 00:00:10

I would take them to Disneyland Paris or Orlando

RestlessFingers Wed 23-Oct-19 23:50:43

I would take my granddaughters to Wales. It’s where I spent my holidays as a child and I made so many happy memories there. The scenery is stunning and there are so many outdoor activities to take part in. I would love to instill the same love of adventure and nature in my granddaughters, that my Nan instilled in me

Kellyyw16 Wed 23-Oct-19 23:41:49

I would take them to a field where they can run around freely in the fresh air and enjoy the great British weather - whatever it maybe!

Ziggy1914 Wed 23-Oct-19 22:10:14

I would take them camping to enjoy the out doors the simple things are the best
