DD1 said yesterday that to be a member of Gransnet one should be able to 1) change a nappy 2) bath a baby 3)Fasten and unfasten a child/toddler in a car seat and 4) UNDO and DO up a modern buggy. I can tick 1) and 2) and 3) as long as there is not TOO much opposition, but both the other Granny and I were struggling with the buggy yesterday at the MAC in Birmingham. The nails didn't survive the struggle but when DD said "Oh let me........" of course it popped open like a dream. Do you remember the "old" McLaren buggy? You could carry the toddler, 2 bags of shopping and still flip it open and ready to roll in a trice, but these new contraptions need stronger hands than mine!
I've got another 'keen'... Ouch!
What are these orange stains that have appeared on my hands overnight?
Last weekend, in Rutland, the first statue in Britain of the late Elizabeth II was unveiled.
