Are there other grandparents out there who have grandchildren in far flung countries as well as in their own? We have 2 granddaughters aged 18 and 14 here who we are very close to although they left our town when they were younger so we don't get to see them so often now but the bond is still there. We now have 2 little grandsons on the other side of the world and it seems so sad that we'll never have that close connection with them. We did visit a couple of months ago when the eldest one was 2 and the youngest just 6 weeks old but of course they will never remember that and with our age and the travel costs we are not very likely to visit again soon. We love them dearly but they will not know us the same way. People say they use Skype but with the time difference of 13 hours and work patterns of both us and our son we are unable to do it on a regular basis. How do others cope?
To think that London, or anywhere else for that matter, does not belong to any one demographic
