Apologies to all
From the bottom of my heart
But now it’s time
For me to depart
Across the Solent
Where the sun shines bright
Where my caravan is
On the Isle of Wight.
Only on the Island do I eat slices of cake
To ensure that I don’t put on too much weight.
My granddaughter comes too
She’s taller than me
I’ve finished planning
Our itinerary…
Beach, crazy golf, then in for a swim
Up on a horse too, as she’s strong of limb
At Tapnell Farm there’s go-karts to ride
Nanny by now might be pretty tired
But on the last day it’s ‘Elvis’ we’ll see
Sitting down in the cinema at quarter to three
So now you know why I’ll not comment on your post
I’ll be having a great time down at the coast.
We’ll eat in cafes and spend too much money
Then Nanny will take Caroline home to Mummy.
Nanny and Caroline… it’ll be good fun
But I’ll be back in a week when the holiday’s done.

Okay, be that way… when it comes to grandkids you rediscover what “turn it up or turn it off” means, energy wise!

I’ve got enough energy fortunately, as she’s not as active as the 3 boys, who run everywhere.

Not many, lol. We spent the last afternoon in an air-conditioned cinema as it was too hot to do anything. We saw ‘Elvis’ – good film though.

That sounds a good idea. Not really a fan of his but I’ve seen a couple of good reviews for the movie so I might try it when it arrives on Sky.
