I would love to take my grandkids to Finland ?? where I originally come from and of course to visit Father Christmas in Lapland

I'd take my grandchildren to a restaurant called Kardomah in Swansea, to show them a proper (old fashioned, but they do Smoothies) restaurant.

I would take them to Lapland to see the real Father Christmas while they are still young enough to believe in magic, fairies and elves.

I would take them for two country walks one in North Devon and another around Dunnottar Castle - both areas that past family members came from.

I would take them to Iceland to see the Northern Lights, I think it would be awesome

I would take them to Holland to visit my Dutch relatives!

I don't have any yet but I would take them to the cottage in Devon overlooking a large beach and the sea where we used to go when the children were young.

I would love to take my Grandchildren to Iceland to see the Northern lights. We often talk about how wonderful it would be to see the lights.

A world cruise to experience all the wonderful cultures around the globe .... before it’s all destroyed by global warming and pollution.

I would take my grand-daughters to Lapland to see Father Christmas of course. Their family absolutely adore Christmas and it may awaken a love of Christmas for me again.I just want to see the look of wonder on their faces!

I would take them to Disneyland and enjoy the cartoon characters together , spending special time and be with each other.

To Borneo to see orang-utans before they all disappear

GrAnne2 Wed 09-Oct-19 11:00:10

I would take them anywhere in the world where they could experience the majesty of animals living in their natural habitats as this is a luxury future generations might not have.

I have seven grandchildren aged 18 to 6 years. I would take them to Simla, India. Where spirituality permeates everything and they might realise what it is that is missing from our lives in the West today.

Anj123 Wed 09-Oct-19 11:04:39

To Australia because to visit my cousin. Also I’ve never been before ?

Tamd Wed 09-Oct-19 11:09:17

I would take my grandkids to Antarctica to see the Whales, Penguins and Seals etc in their own habitat and highlight why we need to do all we can to save it.

To the seaside on a nice day to play with sand and water somewhere down south

grandmaz Wed 09-Oct-19 11:27:37

What a lovely thought! Actually I'd take my grandchildren to the most remote island I could find - it would be beautiful surrounded by azure seas and with a wonderful climate. There would be so much wildlife and so many flowers and trees that they would learn how beautiful living can be without all the distractions of technology. There would be a phone for emergencies, of course, but otherwise life would be lived face to face and in the moment! Just for a while

GrannyHaggis Wed 09-Oct-19 11:34:46

Easter Island! Every year we take GS away and he's always wanted to go to Easter Island. Sadly the cost is beyond us......but we live in hope that one day he/we'll make it!

jojochurchy Wed 09-Oct-19 11:43:36

I would take my grandchildren to Berlin, where we lived when their mother was born, and show them around this lovely city.

Mopsx4 Wed 09-Oct-19 11:45:47

I would like to have all the grandchildren in one country - 2 in uk and 3 in NZ. I would take the 2 in uk over to NZ and show them all the fantastic places over there and lots of time to play with their cousins. The 3 NZ ones ( hopefully coming here in July) I would take to Chester zoo for a day out with English cousins and then plenty of time with other relations especially their great grandma . Unfortunately my mil died in July before she could meet her latest great grandson .

Love to take them on a safari to Africa. Grandson loves Andy’s amazing adventures.

I'd take him to Suffolk so he could spend time in the fields, running free with our dogs, go to the beaches with me and cook outdoors with Pop-pops. We'd all be together, which is rare, and in lovely surroundings.

Lunchtimelady1 Wed 09-Oct-19 11:54:12

I would take them to visit Yellowstone Park in America. The wildlife and scenery are spectacular.

Hudz2012 Wed 09-Oct-19 11:58:43

I have four grandchildren 8,7 and 2 under 2 so for me it would the Disney resorts in Florida. They all love the characters and it would be amazing to see their faces light up when they get to meet them. And then explore the various theme parks.
