I would take my grandchildren to the Scilly Isles. Life is so unique on the islands with lots of islands to explore by boat and crystal clear water to paddle in. It is exciting getting to the Scillies by boat or helicopter.

I would take my grandchildren to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida as they are fascinated by space travel, and If we could time our visit with a launch then that would be a once in a lifetime experience for all of us.

I would love to take my grandchildren to Mauritius- they both love swimming and nature and for them to swim in the Indian Ocean would be amazing for them. The marine life is fabulous too and they would adore the sun, sea and sand.

Sentosa Island, Singapore.
I’ve only been once but it was the most wonderful mix of education, fantasy and excitement. Plus wonderful beaches and hotels. What more could they want?!

To the RSPB site at Arne, Dorset, one of my favourite places in the UK, or to Stockholm to enjoy a beautiful city with coastal islands to enjoy too.

Gorleston beach in Norfolk, 3 miles of beautiful almost empty sands, lots of room to build complicated sandcastles, lots of space to fly kites, lots of space for picnics, lots of space to relax!

I'd take them to Lima to meet the cousins they have never met!

I would take my granddaughters to Cornwall, when I was a child we had the most wonderful family holidays there. We'd play on the beach and in the surf and when the tide was out we'd look at the rock pools. My parents never had much money, but they'd save all year to give us children a holiday we'd remember.

It may sound trite, but Disneyland would be the ultimate. Seeing their faces would be priceless.

McGilchrist41 Fri 18-Oct-19 15:40:44
