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..

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

A train ride through the Swiss Alps on the Glacier Express

granofone Sat 26-Oct-19 13:48:10

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

BlueBelle Sat 26-Oct-19 11:38:02

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 love to take my granddaughter to visit Santa in Lapland and ride on a sleigh pulled by reindeer. She is nearly 3 years old, and is in awe of Santa Claus and his reindeer!

Rachel123 Sat 26-Oct-19 08:47:56

I would love to take my grandchildren to Somewhere where we could reconnect with nature have long walks cosy nights and board games and books . The Lake District would be ideal ?

jeniferpettitt Sat 26-Oct-19 08:39:58

I would take my grandchildren to London for a ride on the London Eye , a trip on a sight seeing open topped bus & a ride on the River Thames!

I’d take my 3 gorgeous grandchildren back in time to meet their great grandparents and great great grandparents, they would experience the same wonderful time I spent with them in the highlands of Scotland. I would be able to show them the beautiful places I played around their homes and then come evening we’d sit down to the fabulous home cooked meals my grandmothers made, and then the games around the table before heading up the giant stairs to bed...I can still smell the fresh sheets as I jumped in. Just one visit back to the past with my grandchildren in tow would be my dream adventure for them.

Scotland, for the most fabulous beaches in the world.

ladyp62 Fri 25-Oct-19 20:13:15

There is a whole world i would love to show my grandchildren, and they would love to go to a Chocolate factory so they say, but i would love to take them on a Steam Train around the country stopping at the many wonderful citys and shores and have great wonderful adventure.

Danishish11 Fri 25-Oct-19 19:51:59

I would most definitely take them to Denmark, to a tiny little island called “Lilleø”..... that’s where I was born....way away from almost everything....very idyllic though

peanutmum Fri 25-Oct-19 18:31:40

both my grandsons are autistic, so they face a number of difficulties. I would love to try them at an activity centre in Wales or Yorkshire.
They need quiet and time to join in, with no pre judgements.
I would love to see them FREE.

heatherjw Fri 25-Oct-19 16:59:28

I would take them to Australia to meet up with my best friend from 30 years ago, and give the grandchildren to learn about life in a different country and those from a different cultural and religious background
