I’ve just had my two grandsons, aged 8 and 11, to stay. The things they liked most were; making pizzas and fudge with me (we also made marshmallows, fruit pastilles and cakes, which they loved, but they’re probably not things for you to do on a first visit), going for a bike ride with their granddad, visiting a couple of local museums, taking bus rides (such a novelty for many youngsters these days), picking fruit and veg on the allotment (maybe a visit to a PYO farm could substitute) and an occasional visit to local cafes/restaurants.
If I could make a suggestion it would be to make a point of not focusing on the children to the exclusion of the parents. Make sure they know you’re delighted to see them too and perhaps include a welcome gift for them; an offer to babysit while you treat the parents to a restaurant meal actually ticks two boxes.
Have any of you got all electric cars? Pros and cons please.
