Because my grandkids live scattered over the world my dream would be to have them together for one visit It wouldn’t really matter where but somewhere fun so I could watch them having a laugh together and having fun so a picnic in Hyde park a shopping trip to the west end and a show Wow what a dream that would be
They have met as a group twice in 22 years and all got on together well

I would take them to Africa to see animals in their natural habitat instead of cooped up in a zoo

A train ride through the Swiss Alps on the Glacier Express

I would take mine to Bournemouth for a simple 'bucket and spade' seaside holiday, the kind that I enjoyed as a young child.

I would take them to Florida to meet mickey and the princesses. I think it's a magical place for any child.

We would go to Hogwarts on the Hogwarts Express from Platform 9 3/4. We would sit in the great hall and enjoy a feast of a life time. 'We would all allow the sorting hat to put us into the school houses that suit all our personalities.

I would become Madam Hooches assistant and become broomstick training officer. My grandchildren would attend lessons and become part of Harry's gang.

We would do all this in front of a roaring fire, in a country cottage after reading the first of J.K. Rowling's marvellous, magical novels. Followed up by duvets and warm popcorn on the floor whilst watching the film.

Iceland.

I would take my three grandchildren who live here in the UK to Perth Australia, so that they could meet their 4 cousins who live there. It would make me the happiest gran in the world to have my seven grandchildren in the same room.

I would take my grandchildren to China to see the pandas in their own environment. They have only seen pandas in a small enclosure in Scotland smile

Giraffe Manor, Nairobi, Kenya - A large lottery win for us to be able to go there but it would just be amazing.

SallyB392 Sun 27-Oct-19 11:49:33

I would take my grandchildren to Bujaleuf in Limousin for a fortnight camping, so much to do there, walking, swimming and visiting places of interest.

The windswept, deserted beaches of the Nothumberland coast. Assuming they are still deserted!!

Would have to be to Japan. not been for over 20 years love to go back with them.

peppy Sun 27-Oct-19 15:17:13

I would take them to Disneyland.

granfromafar Sun 27-Oct-19 19:42:41

I would take them to heaven (return ticket of course!) so they could meet and get to know their great-grandparents. My late father missed out on all his grandchildren and my late Mum only got to meet one grandson. She would have loved her great-granddaughter.

Valeriejane Sun 27-Oct-19 20:32:34

As one is a talented musician and the other a beautiful dancer, I would take them to Columbia, a country that celebrates its ethnic diversity through these mediums Wonderful..

pineapple99 Sun 27-Oct-19 20:58:01

I would take them to Centre Parcs at Longleat for Christmas because it is absolutely magical.

OscarsNana Sun 27-Oct-19 21:36:16

I'd take them on a space shuttle to orbit around the planet, to feel weightlessness, swimming in the air. We'd look down at the clouds and see the continents below, imagine whats in the great oceans. See how fragile our world looks from up there and how we all belong to our planet, one family.

They want to go to Japan

jannxxx Mon 28-Oct-19 12:29:30

sassielassie Mon 28-Oct-19 14:22:36

it would be Australia, since the youngest made his teacher believe they went there on the holidays, its a dream to make it come true for him

brizy830 Mon 28-Oct-19 14:22:38

Canada, where their great grandparents were born and where they have a lot of extended family

valseal Mon 28-Oct-19 14:38:03

It would be a cruise down the Nile. Such wonders!

funstr Mon 28-Oct-19 15:55:38

to Alaska to see the northern lights, camping out under the stars, also see the wildlife. then a cruise along shore whale watching and possibly an iceberg. train ride down though Canada seeing the changing colours of trees. followed by holiday in Florida for the Keys, Busch gardens and Gator land, plus other wildlife reserves (and odd ride or two)

Yvo12 Mon 28-Oct-19 17:07:03

I would take him to Chengdu to see the pandas (he lives in Shanghai so it's possible I will get to do that one day!)
